Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

My Department has been in communication with the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in view of the potential difficulties arising for candidates arising from their proposed cancellation of the Transport Management CPC examination on March 31, and we have received confirmation from the Institute that the examination will now be held on that date as an exceptional measure for 2021.
