Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jas Athwal and Lindsay Hoyle

Thursday 8th January 2026 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Order. Mr Holden, you are getting very excited. Hale and Pace are not setting a good example. Come on.

[Jas Athwal (Ilford South) (Lab)]

T4. Although I welcome recent efforts to get a grip on the outrageous driving test backlog, more needs to be done. I urge the Secretary of State and the DVSA to take further steps to safeguard the online booking system from profiteering by restricting driving schools from booking tests in bulk and by removing the test swapping features to stop reselling at huge mark-ups.
