I propose to take Questions Nos. 112 and 117 together.

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Licence Service.

I have therefore referred the Deputies' questions to the RSA for direct reply. I would ask the Deputies to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Orders.
