To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what criteria are used to establish whether the holder of a full UK driving licence is required to retake a driving test before the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency may accept an application to renew the licence. (273757)

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency does not require a full driving licence holder to retake a driving test as a condition of renewing a driving licence unless they have been subject to medical restrictions, revocation of their entitlement under the terms of the ‘New Drivers’ Act or an order by a court of law to retake a driving test/extended driving test.
