Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the time taken to issue dates for driving tests.
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has a 24-week forward booking window and tests are not available to book beyond this. The DVSA adds new test appointments to the booking system on a weekly basis when the 24-week forward booking window refreshes.
All available practical driving test appointments, including cancellations, show on the live booking system to everyone at the same time. The DVSA adds any additional tests to the system as soon as they become available.
