answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2021 answer text <p>The safety and welfare of Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) staff is of paramount importance as it has been throughout the pandemic. Extensive measures are in place to support the wellbeing of staff and information on the services available to staff is regularly communicated.</p><p>The DVLA’s online services remain available and are the quickest and easiest way to transact. Motorists are strongly advised to use these channels where possible. Paper applications are taking longer to process because of reduced numbers of staff on site. The ongoing industrial action by the Public and Commercial Services union is inevitably harming some of the most vulnerable in society, as these are often the people who rely on less automated services which require DVLA staff to be working on site.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 30/06/2021 14:44:37 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
