Driving Tests: Languages
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of the decision implemented in 2014 by the Driving Standards Agency to stop language support being permitted in practical driving tests on access to driving in the UK for immigrants with other first languages.
- Answer
-
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) does not hold data as to whether a candidate who takes a practical driving test is an immigrant with other first languages. As such, the DVSA has not made an assessment on the effect of the decision, implemented in 2014, to stop language support being permitted during practical driving tests on access to driving in the UK for immigrants.
