• Mr John Peyton, Minister for Transport Industries, has laid before Parliament, Regulations which will allow a driver who has failed to pass the heavy goods vehicle driving test to take a further Lest without having to wait for at least a month. The Regulations come into force on November 9 1973. The removal of the prescribed interval between tests is designed to help those who are attending full-time training courses to qualify for heavy goods vehicle drivers' licences as quickly as possible. If they are attending these courses, many drivers who fail the test can reach the required standard in less than a month.
