Schedule 3 - Endorsement: all drivers
Road Safety Bill
10:15 am
Mr David Jamieson (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Transport; Plymouth, Devonport, Labour)
But of course whenever someone commits an offence, it will attract an endorsement on their licence, and paperwork will go backwards and forwards. Certainly if someone has to make a court appearance, they can be fairly sure that their licence has been endorsed. I suppose that it would be perfectly possible for written confirmation to be sent out when the licence is endorsed. I think that it is intended that someone should receive that. As regards the paperwork, I am not familiar with these things, not having picked up many points on my licence so far, but I think that it is fairly clear to someone if they have picked up points. There will be the ability, first, to have confirmation of that. Secondly, someone can check afterwards whether the endorsement has been put on their licence.
Question put and agreed to.
Schedule 3, as amended, agreed to.
