I'll get rid of all 'goro boys' at DVLA - Transport minister-designate

These middlemen are often referred to as ‘Goro Boys’. They often help vehicle license applicants to acquire their documents without going through the legally stipulated process for a fee. Sometimes they also issue the applicants with fake vehicle documents and licenses.
This has been a challenge the DVLA has been battling with over the years.

The transport minister-designate described this trend as a worrying one and promised to do all within his power to rid the DVLA of ‘gorro boys’.
“The issue of ‘Goro Boys” is an issue that confronts every service seeker who goes to the DVLA to seek their service. Mr Chairman…so long as there is a human interface in doing some of this business, it will create an avenue for them,” he told the committee.

He said this can be done only if all the activities of the DVLA are automated.
