Question to the Department for Transport:

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

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) provides equipment that enables staff to work across multiple locations, including from home where appropriate. This includes meeting legal obligations to provide reasonable workplace adjustments for staff who require them.

However, the DVSA does not record expenditure in a way that separately identifies costs specifically related to home working. Additionally, the Department for Transport’s hybrid working policy is non-contractual and does not entitle staff to additional equipment or to be reimbursed for items to facilitate home working.
