I propose to take Questions Nos. 300 and 301 together.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the regulation of the taxi industry under the provisions of the Public Transport Regulation Act, 2009, including the development and administration of the Skills Development Test. Your correspondence has been forwarded to the NTA for direct reply. If you do not receive a response within ten working days please notify my private Office.
