To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate she has made of the average additional travel (a) cost and (b) distance for hauliers arising from closure of authorised testing facilities.

VOSA's test booking system records the test results at ATFs but is unable to distinguish the number of cancelled tests, as ATFs book testing slots with VOSA, which may contain multiple tests, rather than individual tests. Management of test bookings is entirely within the control of the individual ATF.
