Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions he has had with his Italian counterpart on the right of former UK residents living in Italy to use their UK driving licence.
The Secretary of State for Transport discussed the mutual exchange of driving licences with Minister Enrico Giovannini on 3 May 2022. Further constructive engagement has followed at official level with both sides working at pace to finalise a new bilateral agreement to allow people resident in Italy to exchange their UK licence for an Italian one without needing to take a driving test and vice versa.
