Now that licensing and testing (both the Knowledge and Topo) are no longer part of Surface Transport what cost centre or funding pot does fees flow into and will it affect the answers given ?

Our ref: FOI-1180-1920/GH

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 23 July 2019 asking for information about TPH licensing and testing.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.

Licensing and testing now sit within General Counsel, however, As previously advised it remains the case that any costs that are not covered by the licence fee are ‘funded’ by TfL but as a deficit to the licence fee – i.e. TfL still need to recover them from the licence fee at some point in the future. Therefore this does not change the answers previously provided.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely

Graham Hurt
