Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency

The complainant requested the text of the top ten most and least correctly answered questions on both the car and motorcycle theory tests for a three year period. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency withheld the information, relying on section 36(2)(c) of the FOIA (otherwise prejudice the conduct of public affairs) to do so. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 36(2)(c) of the FOIA is engaged in respect of this information and that the balance of the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require any further steps.
