The Department for Transport (DfT) has just announced the creation of a single agency which will bring together the testing and standards services that are currently provided by the DSA and the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA).

Alastair Peoples, Chief Executive of VOSA, will oversee the strategic operation of both agencies towards a full integration over the next year.

The reforms being announced today are an outcome of the recent Motoring Services Strategy consultation and are designed to offer motorists and businesses better and more convenient services whilst ensuring that road safety and first class customer service remain a top priority. The changes should not impact on the continued provision of services to the public or the progress of the ongoing reform programmes.
