question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment has been made of the effect of connecting DVLA driver records with Department for Work and Pensions records on the ability of transgender people to hire vehicles.
tabling member constituency	Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross
tabling member printed	Dr Paul Monaghan
uin	9938
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2015 answer text <p>No specific assessment has been made. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)’s records are not connected to those of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). However, if drivers wish to access their own information and share it with car hire companies using the online &quot;View Driving Licence&quot; service, they must first verify their identity. To do this, the DVLA provides very limited information to DWP, including National Insurance number. These details are only shared with the explicit consent of the person using the service and gender information is not included. This is an instantaneous and fully automated process and there is no manual accessing of individual DWP records. The DVLA receives no information from DWP other than yes/no confirmation of the validity of the national insurance number provided by the driver or a notification if the driver is deceased.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Anyone who cannot use the online service to generate the code which allows them to share their driving licence information with third parties can telephone the DVLA who will generate a code for them. The individual driver can use this code to share their information with car hire companies if they choose to do so.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 18/09/2015 08:35:33 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2015 answer text <p>Increased capacity is being delivered through our record investment in the railway and programmes such as Intercity Express, Crossrail and Thameslink which add more, longer and newer trains to the railway network which will help in reducing overcrowding. The franchising system is also delivering capacity increases across the country, including 150 new carriages on South West Trains and 68 new carriages on c2c.　 The new Northern and TransPennine Express franchises will deliver an increase in peak capacity into the major northern cities by more than a third.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In addition, operators such as First Great Western are taking steps to reduce overcrowding by removing　some first class carriages and installing additional standard seats. With record passenger numbers across the country we expect operators to keep putting forward innovative proposals to reduce overcrowding.</p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p /><p /> <p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 17/09/2015 13:09:39 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
