tabling member constituency	Leeds North West
tabling member printed	Alex Sobel
uin	176657
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>The current driving licence fees were introduced after a public consultation and regulatory change in 2014. The driver licensing system is self-financing and the fees are set in law to cover the costs of issuing a driving licence. If there was no charge applied where a licence was stolen the cost would have to be met by taxpayers in general or other driving licence holders. While the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency does issue driving licences at no cost for changes of address and at the age of 70 and over to encourage compliance there are no plans to waive the fee for a replacement driving licence in cases where the applicant has been a victim of crime.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/10/2018 11:08:01 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
