Parking: Private Sector
(asked on 10th February 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate she has made of the revenue to the public purse from the sale of car owners' details by the DVLA to private parking enforcement agencies in each year since 2012, broken down by sales to each private parking enforcement agency.
The income from the fees charged for providing information about registered vehicle keepers by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is shown in the table below:
Financial year | Total (£m) |
2012 | 6.62 |
2013 | 7.95 |
2014 | 9.52 |
2015 | 11.33 |
2016 | 14.02 |
2017 | 16.68 |
2018 | 19.89 |
2019 | 23.29 |
2020 | 13.18 |
2021 | 23.90 |
2022 | 30.18 |
2023 | 34.08 |
These fees are set to cover the costs of providing services to customers.
Please note that the figures above do not just relate to requests for information from private parking companies. The specific information requested about private parking companies can only be provided at disproportionate cost as it would require the interrogation of each request for information to identify by whom the request was made.
