Call for Evidence – driver licensing with medical conditions
On a slightly different note, the UK Government has issued a call for evidence on the topic of driver licences with medical conditions. As the volume and complexity of driving licence
applications, or
renewals, where the applicant has one or more medical condition increases, the government believes that the time is right to review the existing legal framework.
Richard Holden MP, Minister for Roads and Local Transport, said:
“We recognise that there are many people and organisations with a wide range of expertise that might have views or ideas that they wish to share and that is why we are launching this call for evidence. We want to understand any opportunities for change in this area and we need your help with that.
PHTM SEPTEMBER 2023
“The aim of this call for evidence is to tap into a wide range of experience, views, and research to help us to identify areas where policy or legislative changes may be able to improve outcomes for drivers and other road users.”
The call for evidence period began on 31 July and will run until 22 October. You can respond to this call for evidence here:

Jeremy Allen Award Again, on a final and also different note, the Institute’s annual Jeremy Allen Award, now in its 12th year, in partnership with Poppleston Allen Solicitors, is open for nominations.
The award is open to anyone working in licensing and related fields and seeks to recognise and award exceptional practitioners who go above and beyond.

Nominations for the 2023 award are invited by third parties by no later than Friday 8 September 2023.
Please email nominations to:
