Mr. Cohen: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what are his plans to increase the reliability of identification procedures
for the issuing of driving licences; whether these plans involve the taking of fingerprints or any other biometric measures; if
access to personal data held by the Government Departments is involved; and what additional data items, not related to driving
licences, are being considered to be included in space on the licence allocated to member states for their own purposes.[30048]
Mr. Norris: The checks on the identity of applicants for photocard driving licences are being considered in the light of the best
practices of the Passport Agency. These do not include fingerprints or biometric measures.
Access to personal information will be regulated under the provision of the Data Protection Act.
EU legislation allows member states to include additional information on the driving licence and designates an area on the licence
for that purpose. No decision has yet been made on what it will contain.
