Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Vere of Norbiton on 25 May (HL295), what progress the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has made following the request from the Embassy of Kosovo regarding a reciprocal driving licence exchange between the UK and Kosovo.

A full assessment of the licensing and testing information provided by the Kosovan authorities has been concluded and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency is satisfied that the required standards have been met. While the department is progressing the work required to achieve an exchange agreement as quickly as possible, it is subject to public consultation and the introduction of domestic legislation.
