Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency

The complainant has requested the total number of individuals under the age of 17 that have been disqualified from driving in the past five years in West Yorkshire; broken down by year, age, length of disqualification, gender and area of residence. The DVLA disclosed disqualifications by year, age and length of disqualification and withheld information relating to gender and area of residence under section 40(2) of the FOIA (personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is that the DVLA is entitled to rely on section 40(2) of the FOIA for the non-disclosure of the remaining withheld information. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken as a result of this decision notice.
