HC Deb 23 February 1979 vol 963 c384W
Mr. Corrie

asked the Secretary of State for Transport why there is a wait of between eight and 10 months to sit a driving test in the West of Scotland area.

Mr. Horam

The Department has been unable to identify any applicant who has had to wait so long for a driving test appointment. If the hon. Member would let me have details of the circumstances which prompted his question, I shall, of course, make further inquiries.

Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the current waiting time for a driving test at centres in The Borders region; and how this compares with the position in Great Britain as a whole.

Mr. Horam

Twenty-two weeks, compared with 23 weeks for Great Britain as a whole.
