§ 59. Mr. R. Harrisasked the Minister of Transport how many driving tests have been undertaken by the centres at Surbiton and Heath House, Isleworth, during the three months March, April and May, 1953; how many of such tests were taken by men and how many by women; how many men and how many women were failed at their first attempts; and what was the average waiting period at each centre between the application for a driving test and the holding of the test.
Mr. BraithwaiteI will let my hon. Friend have the information required in the first two parts of the Question as soon as it can be collated. I regret that information is not available in reply to the third part of the Question. I understand that the average time which has elapsed between applications for driving tests and the tests themselves has been about four weeks at these centres during March, April and May this year.
