HC Deb 10 April 1974 vol 872 c166W
Mr. Grieve

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many representations he has received about the length of time it takes to obtain a driving test; and what proposals he has for its improvement.

Mr. Mulley

An understandably large number of complaints about long waiting periods has been received. As I said in reply to the hon. Member for Hazel Grove (Dr. Winstanley) on 4th April—[Vol. 871, c.425–6.]—I am reviewing recruitment arrangements with a view to taking on more examiners as quickly as possible.
