1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales

She intends to clear the backlog by next summer, providing at least 10,000 extra driving tests every month to help tackle the problem. The Government will double training capacity, so that more driving examiners will be available, and, in addition, they'll increase the number of driving examiners. But the Member makes a really important point about the test-booking bots and how the system is being played for profit. The UK Government, I'm pleased to say, has plans to crack down on the use of bots and the reselling of slots, which, as the Member says, is disadvantaging people right across Wales and beyond.
In terms of some of the centres, though, in Wales, two of the centres with the shortest waiting times for tests in March were actually in Wales, and they were in north Wales. They were in Bala and Bangor. Bala is a one-week wait, and then Bangor, it's apparently three weeks. [Interruption.] Well, I'll write to the Member with more details. And then just over the border in Oswestry, another one with a three-week average wait as well. Now, I will write to the Members with details of the centres with the shortest waits, but that's what I've been assured is the case. Obviously, Members who know their areas very well are contending this, so I think it's important that we have a clear picture.
Now, we're working with the UK Government, obviously, on assessing the beneficial impact of the various measures that they're making, but I have every confidence in what has been outlined by Heidi Alexander.
