The fees received by the DVLA are not recorded separately and so the total includes fees for requests from both private parking companies and other requesters, including insurers, motor finance companies and solicitors.

This is provided for in law and the arrangements are subject to robust safeguards to ensure that this information is only provided to those with a legitimate need to request it.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 17/10/2018 15:28:05 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
