Independent review of DVLA
Over the last year concerns have been growing over how DVLA has been handling matters relating to some vehicle modification decisions relating to Historic and classic vehicles. News of the launch of an independent review of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) announced this week by Richard Holden MP is welcome.

Launch of an independent review of the DVLA announced this week
The review is part of a wider UK Government programme looking into the effectiveness and efficiency of public bodies and is intended to ensure the DVLA can continue to provide a vehicle licensing service to motorists and the public. It will be assessed on four pillars set by the Cabinet Office: efficiency, efficacy, accountability and governance.

Over the last six months and more concerns over how DVLA has been handling matters relating to some decisions being taken by DVLA relating to Historic and classic vehicles are felt to be unjustified. Despite industry expert involvement, the current appeals process and oversight of those DVLA decisions seems to have been ineffective. The independent, wide ranging review is welcome.
