question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the reasons for the fall in the DVLA's revenue from vehicle excise duty between 2014-15 and 2015-16.
tabling member constituency	Leeds North West
tabling member printed	Greg Mulholland
uin	44078
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2016 answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) collects around £6billion in vehicle excise duty annually and also recovers almost £30million from enforcement activities. The DVLA annual audited accounts showed a reduction in the amount of vehicle excise duty collected of £93million for 2015-16, a decrease of around 1.5% of total revenue raised the previous year. However, this figure was better than the Office of Budget Responsibility forecasts.</p><p> </p><p>It is widely recognised that the amount of vehicle tax collected varies year on year. The decrease in revenue for the last financial year has been attributed to three main causes; more efficient vehicles emitting less carbon dioxide resulting in lower tax bands, over 10 million direct debits which moves the revenue across months rather than being collected up front as before and a small increase in evasion.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 12/09/2016 09:46:01 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

uin	23527
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2016 answer text <p>The law allows the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to revoke a driving licence after appropriate medical investigations have been carried out. In cases where a drug related seizure has been confirmed after medical investigations, the DVLA is able to immediately revoke a licence for a minimum of six months. The licence will only be restored when it has been confirmed that the driver has been free from drug misuse or dependence for an appropriate period. It will normally be necessary for independent medical assessment, including appropriate tests and consultant reports, to be carried out before the driving licence is restored.</p><br /> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 29/01/2016 10:35:37 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
