Do I answer yes on criminal conviction?

Home More advice General Knowledge

More than 10yrs ago I had a drink driving conviction. It is removed from public history caus that's what happens after 10yrs to DUI's. So for example when I have a police check for a job it doesn't show up. So does this mean I have a criminal conviction? And if I travel and need to answer that question on a questionnaire do I mark 'yes' or, because it is expunged do I answer 'no'?

I am not trying to hide it as have totally learnt my lesson and have had an absolute clean record ever since - not even a parking fine! so am grateful they got me so young but do need to know this as I don't want to answer incorrectly. No need to lecture as I am aware what an idiot I was and was a child at that stage but correct answers would be great!
