§ 89. Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the fact that in the recent figures published in connection with the examination of applicants for driving tests 13 per cent. failed to pass, he will consider in future making known to the applicants who have failed to pass the test in what manner their failures err, in order that learner-drivers may receive special instructions in that connection?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Captain Austin Hudson)My right hon. Friend has already given instructions that examiners are to inform unsuccessful candidates whether they have failed because of defective eyesight or on other grounds, and to indicate, if so requested, the points to which they would be well advised to devote special attention.
§ Mr. DAYWill the hon. and gallant Gentleman consider having those replies also sent in writing to the candidates—those who do not know?
