HC Deb 23 June 1994 vol 245 c307W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 7 March,Official Report, column 4, how DVLA's senior structure was reviewed and revised in order further to improve the management of the organisation; if he will list the improvements resulting from the changes; and what was the cost of reviewing and revising the structure.

Mr. Key

I refer the hon. Member to my answer on 3 May 1994,Official Report, column 468. The agency's senior structure was reorganised into functional groups responsible for operations, strategic planning and development, and support services. The new structure is more focused, has sharpened decision making and reduced costs. The fees and expenses paid to Price Waterhouse were the only significant direct cost of the review.
