I am aware that, arising out of a continuing growth in the demand for driving tests, there is at present an abnormal waiting period for driving tests at these and other centres. Four driving testers have recently been appointed, however, and arrangements for the recruitment of four more are in progress with a view to relieving the general pressure for such tests.
