Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency

The complainant has requested information about MPs who have been subject to licence revocations. The Driving and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) says it does not hold some of the information that has been requested. It said it neither confirmed nor denied that it held the reminder by virtue of section 41(2) of the FOIA (information provided in confidence). The Commissioner’s decision is that DVLA does not hold some of the information that has been requested and has met its obligations under section 1(1) of the FOIA. He has also decided that DVLA is correct to neither confirm nor deny it holds the remainder of the information under section 41(2) and that the inherent public interest favours protecting the confidence. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
