Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what representations he has received in the last six months on the (a) level of charges levied by the DVLA to private parking companies seeking data on vehicle owners and (b) level of proof required by the DVLA before that data is released.

In the last six months, Department for Transport Ministers have answered two Parliamentary Questions about the level of charges for the release of information to private parking management companies.

In the same period, two letters from Members of Parliament were received by Department for Transport Ministers about the level of proof required to support such requests.
