HC Deb 19 October 1988 vol 138 c973W
Dr. Marek

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport in what circumstances a driving licence can be recalled once it is issued.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Powers exist to revoke an ordinary driving licence for medical reasons or if it was granted in error or contained an error or omission. In addition, the statutorily independent traffic commissioners may suspend or revovke a vocational driving licence if they are not satisfied that the holder meets the required standards of fitness, or if conduct means that the holder is not a proper person to have the vocational licence in question.
