Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government when they intend to allow solo Compulsory Basic Training and other motorcycle rider training to recommence; and what assessment they have made of the impact that the cessation of this training has had on employment prospects for those wishing to find work in the delivery sector.

To help stop the spread of coronavirus and save lives it is vital that compulsory basic training (CBT) instructors respect the national restrictions in England, reduce day-to-day contact with others, and not carry out rider training until the Government’s national restrictions end on Thursday 3 December.

The DVSA estimates that 10,000 – 12,000 learner riders may be affected by the suspension of training during the current national restrictions.
