The Earl of Clancarty

asked Her Majesty's Government:

From what date holders of current South African driving licences will be able to exchange such licences for United Kingdom driving licences. [HL1243]

We expect the legislation allowing exchange of South African driving licences for British ones to be in force, subject to the approval of Parliament, within the next three months.
