LONDON, Sept 24 (Reuters) - British Transport Secretary
Grant Shapps said the country's shortage of truck drivers
shouldn't last long as the government had sped up the number of
HGV tests available.
"Many more tests are being made available now so we should
see it smooth out fairly quickly," Shapps told Sky News on
Friday, adding that the number of tests had been doubled.
