Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when the DVLA plans to allow driving instructors to resume their lessons as covid-19 restrictions are eased.

In line with the Prime Minister’s road map announcement driving lessons will resume in England on 12 April 2021 providing the data shows it is safe to move on to this next step.

The Welsh Government has agreed to restart driving lessons on 12 April 2021 if the public heath position remains favourable in Wales.

The Scottish Government has announced its strategic framework that aims to move fully back to a levels system from the last week in April. If data allows, driving lessons can restart in Scotland from 26 April 2021.
