From "Inside DVLA"
'However, there are some things paper licence holders will need to know about, including the way their licence information will be viewed in the future.
Don’t destroy your paper driving licence
The changes that come into effect on 8 June 2015 are for existing photocard driving licence holders in England, Scotland and Wales only (Northern Ireland drivers are unaffected). Providing none of the details on a driver’s paper licence have changed (like their name or address), they can continue to use it until it expires. This is usually the day before their 70th birthday'...... (my underlining)
My paper licence expired last December; I renewed and got a (10 year) photo-licence; my son has (unless it changes in the future) nearly thirty years until his paper licence expires (or he leaves home!)...
