Mr. Rowe
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how many UK citizens of 65 years or over hold current driving licences. [77458]
Ms Glenda Jackson
The total number of driving licence holder records for people aged 65 or over in Great Britain is 4.40 million. In Northern Ireland (where driver licensing is the responsibility of the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland) the figure is 64,400.The number of actual licence holders may be smaller than the number of records because of failure to notify death or emigration.
