I was pleased to initiate the mid-term review of the national car testing service, NCTS, which included a public consultation process. That process concluded on 18 May 2005. The submissions and suggestions for the improvement of the car testing service which were received from interested organisations and individuals during this process are now being assessed by PricewaterhouseCoopers who have been engaged by my Department to manage the mid-term term review of the NCTS.

I understand that a report on the outcome of their review of the NCTS will be submitted by PricewaterhouseCoopers to my Department shortly. Arising from the report, it would be my intention to announce any necessary adjustments to the current NCT arrangements in the course of the next few months.
