answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2023 answer text <p>My Department has recently carried out a consultation exploring a proposal to extend the period which Ukrainians can use their driving licence, and we expect to publish the results shortly. It remains a legal requirement for anyone on UK roads to have a valid license and it is the responsibility of the driver to ensure they have appropriate insurance to drive on UK roads. For individuals who are coming to the end of their initial 12-month period, we would encourage them to exchange their driving license if eligible.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 07/06/2023 14:27:04 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden
