HL Deb 19 June 1997 vol 580 cc139-40WA
Lord Brougham and Vaux

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have any intention of reviewing the decision to allow drivers who fail a driving test to resit the test without any minimum intervening period of time.

Baroness Hayman

The Driving Standards Agency issued a public consultation paper on 16 June about proposed changes to driving test arrangements. One of the proposals is to reintroduce a statutory waiting period between tests for unsuccessful candidates. I will arrange for copies to be deposited in the House Libraries.
