HC Deb 25 November 1946 vol 430 c209W
77. Sir G. Fox

asked the Minister of Transport why the cost of a driving test has been raised from 5s. to 7s. 6d.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

The Road Traffic Act, 1934, prescribes that a person submitting himself for a driving test shall pay such fee not exceeding 10s. as may be specified in the regulations. The cost of the driving test organisation has increased to an extent which justifies the substitution of a fee of 7s. 6d. for the fee of 5s. fixed in 1937.
