View answer131 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Transport the plans he has to put mechanisms in place for when the issuing authority has no record of a driving licence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10992/04]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 69, 90 and 131 together.
Under the Road Traffic Act 1961 and the Road Traffic (Licensing of Drivers) Regulations 1999 to 2001, it is a matter for the appropriate licensing authority to determine the eligibility of a person for a duplicate driving licence, and to issue licences. I have no plans to change this arrangement.
