§ 24. Mr. STONES (for Sir JOHN HASLAM)asked the Minister of Transport why residents in Bolton and district who must undergo the new driving test are compelled to visit Manchester for that purpose; and will he make arrangements for such tests to be held in Bolton, seeing that it is the centre of a population of about a quarter of a million people and offers better facilities for such tests?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAThere must be a radius for each particular examiner and Bolton, which is only ten miles distant and where there are comparatively few applicants, falls within the Manchester radius. Everything possible will be done to arrange times and dates suitable to applicants.
