Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has had recent discussions with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency on the future of its contract with the Post Office.

Post Office Ltd currently provides a limited range of DVLA services and an extension to the current contract has recently been agreed. The DVLA wants its customers to be able to access its services as quickly and as easily as possible and the role of front office counter services will form part of the considerations of future service offerings, utilising government agreements if necessary. The issue of annual Post Office revenues is a matter for Post Office Ltd.
