(b)the licence is sent to the Secretary of State or the Department under section 63 or 64.
(2)The Secretary of State or (as the case may be) the Department must send—
(a)the holder’s name and address, and
(b)particulars of the disqualification,
to the licensing authority in the EEA State in respect of which the licence was issued.
(3)But subsection (2) does not apply if the EEA State is the same as the State in which the offence in relation to which the holder is disqualified was committed.
(4)The Secretary of State or (as the case may be) the Department must return the licence to the holder—

(5)But subsection (4) does not apply at any time where—
(a)the Secretary of State or the Department would otherwise be under a duty under paragraph (a) of that subsection to return the licence, and
