Driver And Vehicle Licensing Agency Business Rate Number

EDM number 1853 in 2006-07, proposed by Tony Lloyd on 05/07/2007.

That this House notes that the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) uses a business rate number which charges higher rates to callers; is aware of Ofcom's guidance that public bodies should not solely use these numbers; is concerned that people needing to contact the DVLA include those on low incomes; is disappointed that the DVLA does not offer an alternative number; and calls upon the DVLA to change its policy and offer a number which is charged at the normal rate.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
