Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No. 477 of 2006), the Road Safety Authority has responsibility for the delivery of the driving test and the issuing of certificates of competency. The RSA has briefed me from time to time on progress in driver testing arrangements, including arrangements with SGS Ltd. I have not asked the RSA to undertake an audit of SGS.
