HC Deb 07 December 1993 vol 234 c137W
Sir Ralph Howell

To ask the Secretary of State, if he will list the smallest number of separate identification numbers that a person with a driving licence can have; and how many persons are employed in the various Departments of state to administer these separate registers, stating the number employed in each case.

Mr. Key

For driving licence purposes the "driver number" is the only identification number required. It is automatically generated by computer when a driving licence is issued and requires no additional staff effort. There is no link between the driver number and any other identification number.
