Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency will request the use of powers to secure communications data through the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, either for anti-crime purposes or in the interests of public safety, in the light those powers being requested by and granted to Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.

There are no current plans for the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to secure communications data through the Investigatory Powers Act 2016.
