§ Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the cost of preparing and dispatching reminders to renew driving licences; and why he regards such a reminder as necessary and justified in terms of cost.
§ Mr. MarksNo separate cost of figures are available; but bearing in mind that the reminders are issued automatically, incorporate basic details from the centralised driver licensing records which enable them to be machine-read, and serve as application forms, I consider that their use more than offsets the cost of their issue.
