Freedom of information response
Motor Vehicles Registered For Public Hire
I would like to make a request under the Freedom of Information act for the following information:
Motor Vehicles registered for public hire ie Taxi/Private Hire/Hackney Carriage that were either issued a new or renewal licence in the period 1st June 2023 – 21st June 2024
Specifically, I would like to know: (If any of these elements are not available, please supply the ones that are.)
Vehicle registration number
Manufacturer (Make)
Model
Licence issue date
Licence expiry date
Please see attached.
When considering your request for disclosure the registration numbers, the Council has decided to withhold the information under section 40(2), by way of section 40(3A)(a) as it considers the registration number to be Personal Information.
Personal data of any other person (third party data) is exempt under section 40(2) if disclosure would breach one of the data protection principles. This aspect of Section 40 is an Absolute Exemption and is therefore not subject to the Public Interest Test.
