Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment she has made of the effect of the closure of Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency offices in Scotland on prosecutions for offences relating to vehicle registration and licensing in Scotland.
Answer

DVLA has a clear commitment to ensure that enforcement activities remain fully effective. Initial assessments have shown that centralising enforcement would not lead to any degradation in service as the operational processes are largely post and telephone-based. We will work with stakeholders to fully understand the legal requirements specific to Scotland to ensure these can be met.
