Hywel Williams – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hywel Williams on 2015-01-14.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the date by which all driving licences in Britain will carry the Union flag through the process of licence renewal.

Claire Perry

All licences for drivers in England, Scotland and Wales issued from summer 2015 will carry the Union flag.

Drivers are required to renew their photocard driving licences every ten years. To meet legislative requirements every licence in circulation will be a photocard by 2033. All valid driving licences will carry the Union flag by then.
