# The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1988, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1987 by substituting a new regulation 7.
The fee for a first full or provisional licence granted on or after 1st November 1988 is increased from £15 to £17 as is the fee for the grant of a licence (not being a first licence) to a person who has not within ten years held a licence for any class of vehicle (paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Table).
The fees for the grant of a duplicate licence and the grant of a new licence in certain specified circumstances remain unchanged at £5 (paragraphs 3(a) to (c) and 5 of the Table).
A new fee of £5 is introduced for cases where a person re-applies for a licence after the expiration of a period of disqualification (paragraph 3(d) of the Table).
A new provision has been inserted enabling a person who in the previous ten years has held a Northern Ireland driving licence to obtain a licence for a reduced fee of £5 (paragraph 4 of the Table).
