I have been over and back to the witnesses about a person who is looking to change what they claimed was a full English licence. It was in rag order, which is about as best as I can describe it. In fairness to the organisation, it has been on to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, DVSA. A solicitor also made contact because, in fairness to the guy, he maintained it was a full licence and he just wanted it transferred. He obviously had a difficulty at one of the NDLS offices when he provided this licence that did not have a picture. We had hoped we would get the piece of backup information from England, but that did not come. At this stage, I would have been happy with something that was a conclusive "No". I, or he and I, received correspondence that stated this was only a provisional licence, but it went on to say if it was a full licence, it could be green or pink and would be A4 in size. What he actually has is an A4-sized green licence. We also have a copy that states it is a full licence. I do not know what the story is about administration or whatever, but is this something we could revisit?
