The complainant has requested the DVLA to disclose the registration marks linked to previously commercially owned vehicles from its vehicle database up to the cost limit of pounds 600. The DVLA did not respond to the request, relying on section 17(6) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DVLA is entitled to rely on section 17(6) of the FOIA in this case. The request is vexatious and it would be unreasonable to expect the DVLA to issue a further refusal notice in relation to this request. The Commissioner does not require any further action to be taken.
