Oral Answers to Questions

"I have been, and remain, a strong supporter of HS2 because I believe in the transformational benefits that will occur. However, none of these transformational benefits occurs because of the line north of Manchester—it is not in the published business or in the published economic case—and the cost of this …..."

Driving Instruction: Warrington
Thursday 12th June 2014

Asked by: David Mowat (Conservative - Warrington South)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many approved driving instructors were registered in the Borough of Warrington in each year since 2007.

Answered by Stephen Hammond

There are currently 362 approved driving instructors (ADI) with a WA postcode. Please note Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) systems do not hold specific data for the Borough of Warrington.

DVSA's training and registration system is a live database and does not hold historical data; therefore it can provide only the current number of ADIs with a WA postcode.
