§ Earl Attleeasked Her Majesty's Government:
How many drivers under 21 years of age have at least one current penalty point on their licence. [HL3995]
§ Lord WhittyFigures on penalty points for drivers cannot readily be extracted from the computer record. The information requested could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
DVLA, together with the Transport Statistics Division of the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions, is planning to set up a separate database of anonymised driver information, extracted from the DVLA computer record. When this is done, the database will be able to provide the answer to specific questions about drivers quickly and cheaply.
