Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what (a) proportion and (b) number of people imprisoned for death by dangerous driving obtain a driving licence within five years after release.

The information requested is not held. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is not informed when an individual is released from prison, and endorsements ordered upon conviction by the courts for the offences of causing death by careless driving or causing death by dangerous driving are removed from the driver’s record after four years in line with the retention periods for these offences.
