Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what guidance he plans to issue on the deep cleaning of cars following MOTs when those cars are needed by (a) people in high risk groups to attend urgent medical appointments and (b) essential workers involved in the response to the covid-19 outbreak; and if he will make a statement.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has published guidance on GOV.UK for providing MOT tests during the COVID-19 outbreak. Furthermore, as announced on 25 March 2020, the Government is introducing a six-month exemption for all light vehicles due for an MOT test from 30 March 2020 onwards to allow people to continue to travel where essential.
