PROFESSIONAL DRIVING TEST EXAMINERS TO BE RECRUITED
Recruitment of professional driving test examiners will start
within the next three or four months, the Financial Secretary, the
lion. C.P. Haddon-Cave, told the Legislative Council today.
He said that selected volunteer civil servants were now being
used to conduct driving tests after office hours on weekdays and at weeltends and holidays under a temporary accelerated programme.
The number of these examiners varies," he said, "but it is
usually about 120,"
During normal office hours, he went on, driving test examinations
on the road are carried out by 35 Government officers.
Thirty of these were Executive Officers who were temporarily
posted to these duties in August last year, "pending the creation of
a new grade of specialised officers." he said.
