These range from re-inspecting vehicles that have just been tested through to conducting mystery shopper type activities.</p><p><br>DVSA use a mechanism to target its resource to those MOT Garages that present the greatest risk profile.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2014 answer text <p>The specifications for each franchise take into account future plans for upgrading and improving the network during the expected life of the new franchises. The Department for Transport also conducts public consultations when developing the specifications contained within the Invitations to Tender (ITTs) for each competition to ensure that they take account of other factors and reflect the needs of passengers. We have followed this approach for the current TransPennine Express franchise and expect to continue to do so for future competitions including those for any future TransPennine Express franchise, to ensure that franchises continue to deliver for passengers and taxpayers.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 08/12/2014 16:41:40 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
