In my answer of 25 July 2006, Official Report, column 1291W to a written parliamentary question (UIN 84849) from my hon. Friend the Member for Crewe and Nantwich (Mrs. Dunwoody), regarding “Passenger Carrying Vehicle Delegated Examiners”, I stated that there are 74 bus companies which have delegated examiners testing for them. Of these, 70 have a substantive examiner, while the remaining four use examiners from a sister company.

My answer should in fact have said that there are 70 bus companies plus a further 67 sister companies which have delegated examiners testing for them.
