As of 12 April 2024, the number of learners waiting for motorcycle practical tests (a) nationally was 25,637 and (b) in Hull West and Hessle it was 141.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency\u2019s main priority is to reduce practical driving test waiting times, whilst upholding road safety standards.<\/p>

<\/p>

To increase the number of available test slots, it is conducting tests outside of regular hours, including at weekends and on public holidays, and buying back annual leave from driving examiners.<\/p>

During the 2021/22 ODA allocation process, the FCDO considered risks and impacts to inform advice to Ministers. An overarching Equalities Impact Assessment analysed impacts across bilateral country spend. The assessment was considered by Ministers before decisions were made. It showed no evidence that programmes targeting those with protected characteristics are more likely to be reduced or discontinued than other programmes.<\/p>

Information about specific aspects of spending by the police is not held centrally by the Home Office.
