Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will take steps to help prevent the provision of fraudulent information to the DVLA when a vehicle's keeper changes.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has long-standing and robust measures in place to ensure that keepers notify when they buy and sell a vehicle.

It is an offence to provide the DVLA with false or misleading information and the DVLA works with key stakeholders to identify and prevent vehicle fraud. The DVLA actively gathers information and intelligence regarding illegal and improper conduct and will follow up any notifications of fraudulent activity with the relevant authorities.
