Even if we can get 50,000 drivers through their tests it’s not the end of the problem. There’s individual load requirements to be considered.

Boris made a sensible decision yesterday with the visa change. This will hopefully buy us the time we need.

Imho This isn’t a pay issue, it’s a conditions issue. Conditions aren’t about to change due to the nature of the role.
Agree that we need to make the role more attractive - as I said, this will make it more attractive to women too thus increasing the potential pool of talent to recruit from.
