Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when MOD driving instructors will be deployed to driving test centres across the UK.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has accepted the resource of Defence Driving Examiners (DDEs), to be based at the driving test centres with the highest demand near their MOD base or home location.

Before DDEs can start testing they will require familiarisation training. DVSA will provide further information when they will start testing, as soon as it is able.
