Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of outsourcing HGV annual testing; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 18th May 2020
There are no plans to outsource heavy goods vehicle (HGV) testing.
Any future considerations made to the testing delivery model would need to provide assurance that testing is conducted free from the commercial pressures of vehicle maintenance and operation, and provide assurance that vehicle maintenance is done correctly.
