The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to publish the DVSA's findings from the call for evidence on the experience of booking and managing car driving tests.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

On the 18 December 2024, a call for evidence was launched, seeking views on the current rules to book tests.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency have been analysing the responses to this and have been working to develop proposals to improve the rules to make sure learner drivers can book their driving test easily and efficiently.

This will lead to public consultation on the proposed improved rules, with potential future legislative changes. On the 23 April, the Secretary of State announced that this consultation has been fast-tracked and will launch in May 2025.
