Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what data sharing agreements his Department has in place with the (a) Mayor of London and (b) DVLA to facilitate enforcement of the ULEZ.

Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL) and it is their responsibility to manage and oversee the transport network. This includes decisions with regards to road schemes which charge users. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) on behalf of the Secretary of State for Transport, has a data sharing agreement in place with Transport for London to provide information about UK registered vehicles.

These arrangements are in keeping with the Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) (Fixed Penalty) (England) Regulations 2002. The release of DVLA information for this purpose is governed by Regulation 27 of the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002.
