asked the Minister of Transport if he will publish figures showing how many persons applied for driving tests in Lanarkshire during each of the last five years; how many passed; and how many passed after the first, second, third, fourth or subsequent examinations.

During the twelve months ending 13th July, 1961, 42,208 driving tests were conducted at centres in Lanarkshire, including Glasgow; 19,675 persons passed the test. No records are maintained which would show how many candidates passed the test at a first or subsequent attempt.Information for Lanarkshire alone relating to earlier years is no longer available.
