Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency: Internet

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether it is legal for the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency to advertise and provide access to the Government's referendum leaflet on its main website and whether any costs involved are additional to, or part of, the total spending on producing and distributing the leaflet.

Answer

Gov.uk provides a range of Government information, including links to the eureferendum.gov.uk website which sets out information for the public in order to ensure they are able to make an informed decision on 23rd June.

It is legal for Government to do so and there are no additional costs associated with this. These links will be removed at the start of the restricted 28 day period.
