§ Mr. Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he is satisfied that the number of driving test examiners currently serving the Huddersfield area is sufficient to maintain a prompt public service; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe complement at Huddersfield driving test centre is one senior driving examiner and four examiners. Currently the centre is operating with one senior and three examiners, but a forth examiner is due to be posted there on 25 March. This level of staff should be adequate to meet the demand for tests in the area but the situation will be kept under review.
