Written question asked by Joe Robertson (Conservative) on Friday, 10 April 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 16 April 2026 (named day). It was answered by Simon Lightwood (Labour) on Thursday, 16 April 2026 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Vehicle Certification Agency: Fees and Charges

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the answer of 25 March 2026 to Question 122545 on the Vehicle Certification Agency, whether her Department has set a target date for the Vehicle Certification Agency to eliminate its deficit.

Answer

The VCA is currently analysing responses to its recent consultation on increasing certain fees, which would support deficit reduction. If taken forward, any fee changes require the consent of this House through a fee order. We are therefore unable to set out a specific timeframe for elimination of the deficit at this stage. As is the standard practice, I will update the House in due course.
