HL Deb 20 October 1992 vol 539 c81WA
Lord Swinfen

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What plans they have for the future of the Driver Vehicle and Operators Information Technology Executive Agency.

The Earl of Caithness

Following a review of its activities DVOIT will be the first Next Steps Agency to be privatised. Under the Citizen's Charter we are committed to improving service to the public. This means introducing the market to many areas of government. Privatisation brings choice and efficiency, and we are confident that the privatisation of DVOIT will lead to continuing improvements in value for money in the IT services provided for my department.
