There was a notice from the Information Commissioner about this a few months ago: "The DVLA may pass on individuals' personal details if there is good reason, such as the prevention or detection of crime, according to guidance published today by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). The user-friendly guidance explains to individuals the circumstances where the information might be shared without breaking data protection rules."
