The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 28 October 2025 to Question 84700 on Road Traffic Control: Oxford, how much the DVLA has received from (a) Oxford City Council and (b) Oxfordshire County Council, or their agents who operate their car parks, in payments for personal details relating to number plates, to date in (i) 2023-4, (ii) 2024-25 and (iii) to date in 2025-26.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Some local authorities use intermediary companies which request data on behalf of the local authority and pass on the cost. While limited information may be available about intermediary companies that may request vehicle keeper data on behalf of Oxfordshire County Council or Oxford City Council, it can only be extracted and provided at disproportionate cost.
