Personal licence renewals - Deregulation Bill completes Parliamentary passage

Consideration of House of Commons amendments to the above Bill took place in the House of Lords on 16 March.

Both Houses have now agreed on the text of the Bill which waits for the final stage of Royal Assent when the Bill will become an Act of Parliament. A date for Royal Assent is yet to be scheduled.

Without repeating previous updates, such Royal Assent and the laying of a Commencement Order before Parliament is eagerly awaited by those interested in the imminent abolition of the requirement to renew personal licences in England and Wales.
