Anyone applying for a new licence or changing their personal details will be issued with a licence showing the Union flag, the government has announced.

It will appear alongside the European Union flag on licences issued in Wales, England and Scotland.

People in this country rightly take pride in our national flag which is why I am delighted it will now be displayed on British driving licences.

Celebrating Britain strengthens our sense of national identity and our unity. I will feel proud to carry my new licence and I hope others will too.

– Claire Perry MP, Transport Minister
