The competition in question is being managed by the public appointments service, PAS, to which I refer the Deputy for more detail. My Department has been informed by the PAS that it hopes to schedule the first stage of the recruitment process, a written practical exam, in mid December. The PAS has indicated it hopes to offer successful candidates offers of appointment, on completion of all the stages of recruitment, by April 2006. There are ten driver tester vacancies within my Department.
