Department for Transport written question – answered at on 27 November 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to help prevent drivers with type 2 diabetes losing their licence as a result of hypoglycaemia.
The Department’s key responsibility is to maintain road safety for all road users. Those who are not medically fit to drive should not be issued with a driving licence.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) provide information to drivers with diabetes, including the symptoms of hypoglycaemia. The DVLA has also worked with organisations representing people with diabetes to provide clear information about the standards for driving.
