To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what (a) redundancy and (b) voluntary exit schemes for civil servants are currently in operation in his Department.

Mr Robert Goodwill

The Central department has two voluntary exit schemes. These are both small, targeted schemes aimed at specific groups of people who we have not been able to redeploy or who do not have the skills and capabilities we need.

There are also 2 schemes in DVLA which have received Cabinet Office approval and are underway. There are

1. A voluntary redundancy scheme – this is required to deal with a number of people who have TUPE transferred into DVLA from Fujitsu following the insourcing of our IT function, who are based in locations which are not within travelling distance of Swansea and are not able to move home
2. A voluntary exit scheme – this is required to deal with surplus numbers of people based in Swansea following the TUPE transfer into DVLA from Fujitsu, Concentrix and IBM as result of the insourcing of the DVLA IT function

The Driver Vehicle and Standards Agency has no redundancy and one voluntary exit scheme currently in place. The voluntary exit scheme is to enable staff who have been identified as surplus to be released if needed as a result of the agency restructuring. It is not open for general applications.
