§ 33. Mr. DENVILLEasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the widespread desire that motorists who fail under the test should be given in writing or orally the reason for such failure, he will issue instructions to this effect forthwith?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAApart from the specific test, an examiner is required to judge generally whether or not a candidate is competent to drive without danger and with due consideration for other users of the road. As in certain circumstances a candidate may appeal to a 1141 court of summary jurisdiction, it is most desirable to avoid giving any instructions to examiners which might involve them in controversy. In accordance, however, with the spirit in which I desire these tests to be conducted, I am informing examiners that they should indicate to unsuccessful candidates on request the points to which they would be well advised to devote special attention before taking the test again and I am also directing examiners to inform a candidate forthwith if he has failed in the eyesight test.
