I propose to take Questions Nos. 623 and 652 together.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry under the provisions of the Public Transport Regulation Act, 2009, including responsibility for administering the SPSV Entry Test, which includes both the Industry Knowledge and the Area Knowledge Tests.

I have referred your Question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
