Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency

The complainant has requested information on the supply of keeper data where byelaws apply. The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA identified information within the scope of the request but withheld this on the basis that information was legally professionally privileged and therefore exempt under section 42 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision, after considering the public interest test, is that the DVLA has correctly applied this exemption and the public interest favours withholding the requested information.
