Answered by Lilian Greenwood

No discussions have taken place with the Minister for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland on the graduated driving licence pilot scheme.

Whilst we are not considering Graduated Driving Licences, we absolutely recognise that young people are disproportionately victims of tragic incidents on our roads, and we are considering other measures to tackle this problem and protect young drivers.
