Clause 8 - Unlicensed and foreign drivers
Road Safety Bill
9:45 am
Mr Greg Knight (Shadow Minister, Environment and Transport; East Yorkshire, Conservative)
I want to ask the Minister a question. There is a reference in the clause to a person who is not the holder of a licence. What is the status of the document that is called an international driving permit? I have never held one; I have driven in other parts of Europe on my UK driving licence, but I understand that if I wish, I can apply for an international driving permit. If a person produces one of those in the UK, would it be deemed to be a licence under the clause?
