HC Deb 10 February 1971 vol 811 c176W
69. Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what action he proposes to reduce the average waiting time of seven and a half weeks, for persons wishing to take the official driving test.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

None. In the course of January the waiting time was reduced by almost two weeks. I expect it to fall still further because testing capacity exceeds the normal rate of applications at this time of year.
