Written Answers. - Driving Licence Endorsement.
73.
In my reply to Question No. 583 put down by the Deputy on 23 April 1985, I explained the legal position generally in regard to endorsements on driving licences. On the basis of information supplied by the licensing authority, I indicated that the person involved, who was granted a three year licence on 30 September 1982, would have satisfied, by 29 September 1985, the particular legal requirement that an endorsement be carried on a licence for a continuous period of three years and could then be granted a licence free from that endorsement.
However, arising from a difficulty created by the fact that a copy of the original endorsement was not entered on the licence in question when it was granted, the licensing authority considered that he was not entitled to a licence free from endorsement when renewing his licence on 10 October 1985. The matter has now been resolved and arrangements are being made for the granting of a licence free from endorsement in this case.
