Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has plans to undertake a review of the status of the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency’s Trading Fund.

The Government’s approach to public bodies’ reform includes robust tailored reviews led by Departments with Cabinet Office oversight and challenge.

A tailored review of the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is in the early stages of planning. This will include consideration of the control and governance arrangements in place for the DVSA and will make recommendations for improvement. It is expected that the tailored review will include consideration of its trading fund status.
