§ Miss Quennellasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proportion of learner driver provisional licence holders pass his Department's driving test at the first attempt, and how the figures have varied in recent years.
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsI regret that information in this form is not available. Two-weekly surveys in 1966, 1967 and 1970 of candidates who passed the driving test showed that 49 per cent., 46 per cent and 49 per cent. respectively did so at their first attempts.
