Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 January 2025

Debate

Driving Tests: Secondary Market

Contribution

My Lords, the current situation is grossly unsatisfactory for learner drivers. The noble Lord who asked the Question referred to a cost of £99; I have knowledge of someone who paid £400 simply to get a local, quick driving test. Many people are suffering because they need that. Can the Minister tell us, as well as recruitment, what his department is doing to ensure that industrial relations are better between driving examiners and the department, in order to get us back to the situation—which we have never got back to—as it was pre-Covid?
