Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):
(1)An application for the grant of a licence must include a declaration by the applicant, in such form as the Secretary of State may require, stating whether he is suffering or has at any time (or, if a period is prescribed for the purposes of this subsection, has during that period) suffered from any relevant disability or any prospective disability.
(2)In this Part of this Act—
“disability” includes disease [F1and the persistent misuse of drugs or alcohol, whether or not such misuse amounts to dependency],
“relevant disability” in relation to any person means—
any prescribed disability, and
any other disability likely to cause the driving of a vehicle by him in pursuance of a licence to be a source of danger to the public, and
“prospective disability” in relation to any person means any other disability which—
at the time of the application for the grant of a licence or, as the case may be, the material time for the purposes of the provision in which the expression is used, is not of such a kind that it is a relevant disability, but
by virtue of the intermittent or progressive nature of the disability or otherwise, may become a relevant disability in course of time.
(3)If it appears from the applicant’s declaration, or if on inquiry the Secretary of State is satisfied from other information, that the applicant is suffering from a relevant disability, the Secretary of State must, subject to the following provisions of this section, refuse to grant the licence.
(4)The Secretary of State must not by virtue of subsection (3) above refuse to grant a licence—
(a)on account of any relevant disability which is prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph, if the applicant has at any time passed a relevant test and it does not appear to the Secretary of State that the disability has arisen or become more acute since that time or was, for whatever reason, not disclosed to the Secretary of State at that time,
(b)on account of any relevant disability which is prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph, if the applicant satisfies such conditions as may be prescribed with a view to authorising the grant of a licence to a person in whose case the disability is appropriately controlled,
(c)on account of any relevant disability which is prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph, if the application is for a provisional licence.
(5)Where as a result of a test of competence to drive [F2or of information obtained under the relevant powers] the Secretary of State is satisfied that the person who took the test [F2or in relation to whom the information was obtained] is suffering from a disability such that there is likely to be a danger to the public—
(a)if he drives any vehicle, F3. . .
(b)if he drives a vehicle other than a vehicle of a particular [F4class],
[F5or
F5(c)if he drives a vehicle except in accordance with particular conditions,]
the Secretary of State must serve notice in writing to that effect on that person and must include in the notice a description of the disability.
(6)Where a notice is served in pursuance of subsection (5)(a) above, then—
(a)if the disability is not prescribed under subsection (2) above, it shall be deemed to be so prescribed in relation to the person [F6on whom the notice is served], and
(b)if the disability is prescribed for the purposes of subsection (4)(c) above it shall be deemed not to be so prescribed in relation to him.
[F7(7)Where a notice is served in pursuance of subsection (5)(b) above, the Secretary of State may—

(b)if he held a licence which is revoked by the Secretary of State and he complies with subsection (7ZB) below, grant him a licence authorising him to drive vehicles subject to those conditions,
and, if the Secretary of State so directs in the notice, any entitlement which the person has to drive vehicles by virtue of section 98(2) of this Act shall be subject to conditions as specified in the notice.
F7(7ZB)A person complies with this subsection if—
(a)he surrenders the existing licence F8..., and
(b)where the Secretary of State so requires, he provides evidence of his name, address, sex and date and place of birth and a photograph which is a current likeness of him.
F7(7A)If he considers it appropriate to do so, the Secretary of State may, after serving a notice under any of the paragraphs of subsection (5) above, serve a further notice under that paragraph or a notice under another of those paragraphs; and on his serving the later notice the notice previously served shall cease to have effect and any licence previously granted in accordance with it shall be revoked by the later notice.]
