From time to time the MSA is asked to respond to various questions concerning all sorts of different matters relating to driver training and road safety. Some of these are formal consultation exercises. These come from various bodies including DfT, DSA and the DVLA. We are also invited from time to time to provide evidence to parliamentary select committees and other bodies such as the Motorist's Forum.
Our responses are discussed thoroughly internally with board members and regional committees and members are all invited (time permitting) to give their views through Newslink. These are some of our past responses.
