Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the dates of each organisational and structural review of(a) the Highways Agency and (b) the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency since their creation. [14430]

Mr. Norris

The Highways Agency, which was created in 1994, carried out an organisational and structural review in its first year and embarked on a further review, which is still in progress, in November 1995.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, which was created in 1990, carried out a pay and grading review in 1991–92; a senior structure review and reorganisation in 1993; job evaluation of senior posts in 1994; and a further reorganisation of its management structure in August 1994 in order to take forward its on-going change programme, including the restructuring of its local office network.
