Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent estimate he has made of the number of theory test certificates that will expire during the 12 months following the passing of the Coronavirus Act 2020 without the candidate being able to sit a practical test within the required timescale.
The validity period of the theory test certificate is 2 years.
The total number of theory test passes between 25 March 2018 – 25 March 2019 is 1,005,789.
It is not possible to estimate how many of those will expire without the candidate being able to sit a practical test.
