I propose to take Questions Nos. 501 and 502 together.

Schedules for driving tests are arranged four to five weeks in advance of the appointment date. As of this week schedules for driving tests are being finalised for week commencing 11 July 2005 and being arranged for week commencing 18 July 2005. The number of tests assigned will depend on whether the tester works overtime, is testing cars, trucks or motorcycles, and whether he or she is available for duty for all of the week being rostered.
