• Whether to grant drivers who have a category B licence entitlement to a minibus category D1 licence.
• Proposals to increase the standards of HGV instruction, improve pass rates and to permit a person who has held an HGV category C licence for 2 years to drive PCVs for maintenance and repair purposes.
