Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many staff in his Department had caring responsibilities in each of the last five years.
The Department for Transport (DfT) does not collect data on the number of people with caring responsibilities on its HR systems.
We are, however able to provide data on the numbers responding positively to the Civil Service People Survey question on caring responsibilities over this period. The total number for the Central DfT and its four agencies is broken down as follows:
Department / Agency |
|
|
| |||||
| 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | 2016 | 2015 | |||
Central DfT | 535 | 409 | 322 | 209 | 267 | |||
Driver & Vehicle Licencing Agency (DVLA) | 1329 | 1169 | 1099 | 1107 | 1096 | |||
Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) | 1153 | 906 | 702 | 582 | 659 | |||
Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) | 205 | 150 | 138 | 153 | 136 | |||
Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) | 33 | 27 | 19 | 17 | 24 | |||
Total | 3255 | 2661 | 2280 | 2068 | 2182 |
This is not a workforce statistic and is only representative of those who completed the survey and the best available information DfT currently has.
