Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency spent on interpreters and related translation services in (1) 2022, (2) 2023, (3) 2024 and (4) 2025.

The table below shows how much the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has spent on translation and interpretation services (including Welsh language and British Sign Language translations) in each of the last four calendar years. Please note that the increase over the last two years is due to the DVLA’s contact centre introducing a new video service for British Sign Language.

The overall spend is predominantly on Welsh language and British Sign Language services.
