answer text <p>Under Cabinet Office protocols for managing staff surpluses, all HMRC staff leaving under compulsory redundancy (CR) terms have first been offered and declined voluntary redundancy (VR) terms. To date this has ensured that all staff who have left HMRC on CR terms have chosen to take compulsory redundancy, either because accepting CR over VR terms has not financially disadvantaged them, or they have declined a reasonable alternative redeployment solution in favour of CR terms.</p><p> </p><p>The redundancies and the voluntary exits have had no effect on the level of service provided by HMRC.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The information required can be found in the exit data, which is published every year in the departmental accounts.</p> more like this
