answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2017 answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) forecasts the full Agency costs required to complete its activities and volumes stated in its Business Plan forecasts, taking into account efficiency plans. Over time the costs of individual DVLA services will change for many reasons including movement in volumes, digital channel take up and mandatory legislative changes. For this reason it is not possible to forecast the individual transaction costs for a year’s time in October 2018. However, in 2016/17, the cost per digital driving licence renewal and provisional driving licence application was £5.87 and £7.74 respectively.</p><p> </p><p>The fees received for DVLA’s Vehicle Registration and Driver Licensing services are combined allowing the DVLA to recover the full costs of its activities. This approach is provided for in legislation and allows a range of both paper and digital transactions to be processed free of charge for customers. For example, the DVLA does not charge customers to change their address on its records as doing so may discourage people from informing of such changes which could impact on the accuracy of the DVLA’s records.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 07/11/2017 15:48:52 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2017 answer text <p>No estimate has been made on the number of unlicensed vehicles that remain on the public road with a Statutory off Road Notification (SORN) after being clamped by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). However, we expect the majority of these vehicles to have been licensed or moved off the public highway.</p><p> </p><p>Any vehicles remaining unlicensed on the public highway risk being clamped again. When a vehicle is clamped by the DVLA for being unlicensed and with a SORN in force the keeper is required to relicense the vehicle or pay a surety in order for the clamp to be removed. If no action is taken, then the vehicle is removed from the public highway to a pound within 72 hours.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities and the police can also clamp and impound unlicensed or abandoned vehicles.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 23/10/2017 12:16:24 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
