It also seems reasonable and more efficient for that person to ask their assistant to ask the question of the authorities, rather than ring the DVLA themselves during working hours. It's the same reason why CEOs don't book their own flight tickets or buy their own lunch and often have their assistants manage most of their personal life.
If it's a business where the PA is happy to sort out the CEO's personal life, that's fine. This is the civil service where the roles are clearly delineated. The person in question knew it wasn't their duty to sort out Cruella's speeding ticket, hence the complaint.
Even if you work in a big company, if you hate your boss enough to narc on them for asking you to do something that isn't your job, chances are HR would at least be having a word with them.
The fact this went public from the cabinet office suggests someone there has the knife out for Cruella.

Fishi's already quashed the idea of investigating it, so that seems unlikely.
