Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the arrangements are for the governance and accountability of the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency; and what plans there are to review those arrangements.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has robust governance and accountability arrangements in place, which are published at www.gov.uk/government/organisations/driver-and-vehicle-standards-agency/about/our-governance.

The Cabinet Office is planning a tailored review of the DVSA’s control and governance arrangements, later this financial year. The review will ensure that the DVSA is complying with recognised principles of good corporate governance, and that it has the capacity to deliver its services effectively and efficiently.
