HC Deb 04 July 1956 vol 555 c107W
50. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how many applicants for driving tests are on the waiting list at the Middlesbrough Centre; what is the average waiting time; and what action is being taken to improve the position.

Mr. Molson

About 1,600 people are waiting to be tested and the waiting period is 10 to 11 weeks. Pending the recruitment of additional staff, examiners are working overtime to keep the delay as short as possible.
