HC Deb 11 March 1996 vol 273 cc458-9W

Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what will be the addresses of the proposed six offices of the Driver and Vehicle Testing Agency; and if these offices will(a) be at ground floor level or (b) provide access by a lift. [19935]

Mr. Moss

Responsibility for the subject in question has been delegated to the Driver and Vehicle Testing Agency under its chief executive Mr. Brian Watson. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.

Letter from J. B. Watson to Mr. John D. Taylor, dated 7 March 1996:

Your Question about the location of Driver amp; Vehicle Testing Agency offices has been referred to me for reply.

Theory test centres will be located in Ballymena, Belfast, Londonderry, Newry, Omagh and Portadown. The addresses of the centres will be published when suitable premises have been acquired.

It is expected that theory test centres will either be at ground floor level or that appropriate arrangements will be made for disabled candidates.
