HC Deb 20 June 1979 vol 968 c559W
57. Mr. William Clark

asked the Minister of Transport how many vehicle driving test examiners retired or resigned in the last year; how many applied to become driving instructors; and what was the rate of failure in the latter test.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Our records do not in general distinguish between former examiners and other applicants to become driving instructors. But of the 94 examiners who retired or resigned in the year ended 31 May 1979, six applied to qualify as instructors before leaving; four succeeded and two have not completed their examinations.
