To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 25 March 2026 to Question 122526, what data limitations prevent the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency from tracking the conversion of recruitment campaign click-throughs into completed applications.
Simon Lightwood
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
As with any job advertisement on Civil Service Jobs, candidates must have registered an account with the site to apply for a vacancy. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is not responsible for this site.
The only data DVSA can directly extract from campaigns run on Civil Service Jobs, and candidates’ activity as part of these, relates to the overall numbers of applications, such as applications started and completed. This data does not link back to any previous click-throughs.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
