answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2017 answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) provides information manually and via an electronic process. Before releasing vehicle keeper data through the manual process, the DVLA requires private parking companies to provide their full company registration details. These include the company’s registered address, Companies House registration number, Data Protection registration and Accredited Trade Association membership details. Companies must declare why they need the data and how it will be used. Documentation must also be supplied for each request demonstrating reasonable cause for needing the information. This can include landowner authorisation and evidence of the contravention of car parking terms and conditions. The information provided by the private parking company is thoroughly checked. Any request that fails to include sufficient information is rejected.</p><p> </p><p>Private parking companies who wish to request information through electronic links must complete a six month probationary period. As well as supplying the details for the process outlined above, companies are required to make a minimum of 300 manual applications over the period. The DVLA will also liaise with the relevant Accredited Trade Association throughout the process to ensure that the company continues to adhere to the code of practice.</p><p> </p><p>Private parking companies who successfully complete the probation period must enter into a contract before being able to request vehicle keeper data electronically.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/07/2017 12:49:16 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
