Mr. Michael

[holding answers 18 June 1997]: I have been asked to reply.

Figures on the number of drivers currently disqualified from driving could be made available only at disproportionate cost.

The number of disqualifications imposed by the courts by period of disqualification and by offence group is published annually in "Offences relating to motor vehicles England and Wales, Supplementary tables" (tables 13 and 14).

Copies of these publications are in the Library.
