Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency

The complainant has requested information relating to vehicle registration numbers. The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) refused to provide the requested information citing the exemption under section 40(2) of the FOIA (third party personal data) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that DVLA has correctly applied section 40(2) of FOIA to the withheld information. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
