Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency: Remote Working

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has spent on equipment to enable staff to work from home in each of the last three years.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency staff were previously entitled to claim up to £100 to help purchase the equipment necessary to work from home due to the impact of the pandemic. This arrangement ended towards the end of the 2023-2024 financial year.

The table below shows the information requested. Please note that while some equipment has been provided in the 2024/25 financial year, this has been provided as business as usual and not specifically to facilitate working from home:

2022 – 2023

£5,811.06

2023 – 2024

£3,028.23

2024 – 2025

£0
