Dear Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency,

Pursuant to the FOIA, I would like copies of the following:

The medical guidance that you sought prior to changing the policy on driving with Autism, Asperger's and other neurodiverse conditions.

A copy of the Equality Impact assessment (that you are required by law, s149 Equality Act, to have completed) in respect of the impact of the now reversed changes to the requirements for drivers with the neurodiverse conditions listed.

A copy of the Equality Impact assessment in respect of the accessibility of the Form M1 that neurodiverse people would have been required to complete.

Details of those consulted prior to the change, and copies of the consultation responses.

Details of the communications plans to inform to public of the proposed changes.

The webserver log files showing when each of the web pages were changed and subsequently changed back.

A copy of the resignation letters from your Chief Executive and the Secretary of State for transport in relation to this fiasco.

Yours faithfully,
