Simon Lightwood

Labour (Co-op) — Wakefield and Rothwell

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 November 2025

Debate

Driving Test Availability: South-east

Contribution

These actions were taken as a consequence of the 90,000 submissions and the work that we did in the DVSA and the Department, so they are based on feedback. These changes will make access fairer and will prevent unofficial businesses and third parties from reselling tests at inflated prices. They will prevent tests from being booked in quiet areas, only to be moved to high-demand areas.
