Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency
The complainant has requested information relating to the audits carried out by or on behalf of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in the first three months of 2017 of members of either the British Parking Association (BPA) or of the International Parking Community (IPC or equivalent). The DVLA provided some information but refused to disclose the remainder citing section 31(2)(a) – (c) by virtue of section 31(1)(g) and section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DVLA has incorrectly relied on sections 31(2)(a) – (c) by virtue of section 31(1)(g) of the FOIA. However, the DVLA has correctly applied section 40(2) of the FOIA to the personal data of third parties referenced throughout the withheld information. The Commissioner therefore requires the DVLA to disclose the withheld information to the complainant, with the personal data of third parties redacted.FOI 31: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld
