Department for Transport: Credit Unions

Asked by Gareth ThomasLabour (Co-op)Department for TransportTabled Answered 16 February 2026UIN 111632

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether they will require their department and agencies to offer payroll deductions to all employees to enable them to join a credit union.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

This is a service that we do not current offer in DfT or our agencies. Staff can still make arrangements to contribute to a credit union via direct debit.
