Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many practical driving tests were booked via a third party agent for re-sale in 2022 as of 13 June.
To prevent the booking and re-selling of driving test appointments, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has:
Practical driving test appointments are only assigned to individuals wanting to take their driving test. There is no facility to allow the mass booking of driving tests, neither are practical car driving test slots allocated to, or reserved for, private companies.
As practical driving tests are booked against individuals, the DVSA does not hold data on how many were booked via a third-party.
