Written answers

The operation of the National Driver Licensing Service (NDLS) is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority (RSA).  As such, the RSA designed the new NDLS and was responsible for the tendering process for outside contractors.  Neither I nor my Department had any role in this process.  I have therefore referred this question to the RSA for direct reply.  I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
