Motion text
That this House notes that, under the agreement in force since 20 May 2021, Ukrainian driving licences may be exchanged for Great Britain licences; further notes that because tests taken before 28 December 2021 did not record whether they were completed in a manual or automatic vehicle, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency will only issue automatic Category B entitlements, and that vocational categories C, CE, D and DE are not currently exchangeable; recognises that this is preventing otherwise qualified Ukrainian drivers from working in sectors facing shortages, such as the road freight sector; and calls on the Government to review the arrangements and work with the Ukrainian authorities to establish a lawful mechanism to recognise manual and relevant vocational entitlements, subject to appropriate safeguards.
