HC Deb 19 March 1996 vol 274 c178W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security which social security benefits will be available for drivers of heavy good vehicles affected by the forthcoming European Community regulations on eyesight. [19886]

Many of those adversely affected by the forthcoming EC directive on driving licences will find other employment, either with their existing employer or elsewhere. Others will have opportunities for retraining. Those remaining may be entitled to social security benefits, depending upon their circumstances.
