asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to recent newspaper reports in Britain suggesting that the British road traffic authorities are being approached with a view to nonrecognition of Irish driving licences arising from his recent regulation issuing full licences to certain provisional licence holders in the Republic and if he will make a statement on the matter.
