HC Deb 27 January 1960 vol 616 c167
39. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked ate Minister of Transport if the complement of driving examiners for Great Britain is now complete: and how many recruits are required.

Mr. Marples

Last year the complement of driving and traffic examiners was increased by 300. Seventy-one have still to be recruited. I hope there will be a full complement by the end of March.

Mr. Gresham Cooke

That would be satisfactory. Now that my right hon. Friend has returned from America reinvigorated, if that is possible, perhaps he will get a drive on to get the 71 examiners.

Mr. Marples

We will, and we hope that with the assistance of the Ministry of Labour it will be possible to provide the 71 examiners very shortly.
