Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency
11 August 2015, Central government
The complainant requested from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) information about a call-off contract for theory testing. The DVSA initially refused to comply with the request as it considered it to be vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA. Following its internal review, the DVSA withdrew its reliance on section 14(1) and said the requested information was exempt from disclosure under section 22 because it intended to publish the requested information in the future. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DVSA incorrectly applied the exemption under section 22. However, the requested information was published during the Commissioner’s investigation and therefore, he does not require the DVSA to take any steps.
