I propose to take Questions Nos. 521 and 555 together.

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Testing Service. As such, the information requested is held by the RSA.

Given the RSA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputies' questions to the RSA for direct response. Please contact my office if a reply is not received within ten days.

Pending this response, the Deputies may wish to note that the RSA publish detailed monthly information on the driver testing service on the CSO website, including the breakdown of waiting times and distribution of testing capacity by test centre. This information is available at the following link: .
