Test Route (South Queensferry)

HC Deb 11 July 1980 vol 988 cc334-5W

Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Transport if he will consider taking South Queensferry, West Lothian, off the list of his Ministry's test routes.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

At present about eight heavy goods vehicle driving tests a week from the Livingston centre are conducted over routes in South Queens-ferry. Stopping these would necessitate the more intensive use of other test routes and could not be justified.
