Leaked documents from the Driving Standards Agency have revealed plans to potentially shut down all driving test centres and instead use private firms as "delegated examiners".
The Public and Commercial Services union claim they have seen leaked documents which show that the DSA is looking at methods to lower costs and the DSA believe this method would help drive down expenditure.
General secretary Mark Serwotka said "These new documents shed more light on the plans being hatched behind closed doors by senior managers and ministers. Worryingly, it is the latest evidence of the creeping privatisation of the agency's work, which puts ideology before road safety."
