§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he will take to ensure that the police ensure that identity in drink drive cases is substantiated by evidence other than the driver's licence alone. [26591]
§ Mr. MacleanThis is an operational matter for the police, but I understand that, when someone is charged with a drink drive offence, the usual procedure is to carry out checks on the vehicle records and the address given, in addition to verifying licence details.
