Lord Marks of Henley-on-Thames (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 December 2025

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

I ask the Minister to consider this. The power to suspend that is sought by this amendment would be a power exercisable by the court and therefore reportable to the DVLA, as a result of which the driving licence would be formally withdrawn. I am not sure that is true of a ban on driving imposed by the police as a part of bail. That is the importance of the suspension that I suggest.
