Drivers applying for new licences from July will have to respond to a question about organ donation, as the government bids to increase donor numbers. Under the "prompted choice" system, applicants must register to donate, say they have already signed up or state: "I do not want to answer this now." Under the DVLA's current scheme, people can skip the question, but nearly 8m people have still signed up as donors. It is hoped to increase numbers by making people consider a response. If the DVLA pilot scheme is successful it could be rolled out to other areas.
