Mr. George Osborne: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many people are employed by (a) the Driver Standards Agency, (b) Driver Vehicle Licensing Authority, (c) Vehicle Certification Authority and (d) Vehicle and Operator Service Agency; what the running costs of each body was in the last year for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement on the future of each body.

The most recent published accounts for the DVLA are for the 2003-04 financial year, in which the operating costs of the agency were £381.2 million. 3. As part of its realisation of efficiency gains, the DVLA has plans to reduce the number of staff employed by at least 500 by 2007-08. DSA 1. At 1 April 2004, the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) employed 2,263 staff on a full-time equivalent basis. 2. The most recent published accounts for DSA are for the 2003-04 financial year, in which the running costs of the agency were £113.8 million. 3. Demand for driving tests has continued to increase significantly leading to a major recruitment and training exercise for driving examiners and supporting call centre, deployment and customer service staff. The DSA plans to increase staff by around 350 by 2005-06. Of these over 230 will be driving examiners. VCA 1. At 1 April 2004, the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) employed 110 staff on a full-time equivalent basis. 2. The most recent published accounts for VCA are for the 2003-04 financial year, in which the running costs of the agency were £7.5 million. 3. There are currently no plans to change the number of staff employed by the VCA. VOSA 1. At 1 April 2004, the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) employed 2,650 staff on a full-time equivalent basis. 2. The most recent published accounts for VOSA are for the 2003-04 financial year, in which the operating costs of the agency were £127 million. 3.
