asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he is satisfied with the situation that a learner motor cyclist can have an unlimited number of provisional licences, without conditions as to instruction or testing.

As I explained in the answer I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Coventry, North-East (Mr. Park) on 9th December—[Vol. 922, c. 307]—enforcement of licensing conditions of this kind has been tried before, but did not prove to be an effective use of resources.
