Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No. 477 of 2006), the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has responsibility for the delivery of the National Car Test.  The RSA has overall responsibility for the operation, oversight, development, quality assurance and delivery of vehicle testing arrangements, including the number and location of test centres. Therefore, I have forwarded the Deputy's Question to the RSA for direct reply. If he has not received a response in the ten days, he should contact my office.
