Asked by: Baroness Jenkin of Kennington (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government, following the decision of the Supreme Court in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers [2025] UKSC 16, whether the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency will require driving licences to list only an individual's biological sex.

Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport)

Driving licences do not currently specify the sex or gender of the licence holder and there are no plans to change this.
