Proceeding contribution from Sian C James (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 December 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Department for Transport Data Storage and Use.


Department for Transport Data Storage and Use

The DVLA is in my constituency and it is, in effect, a large paper factory, with more than 100 million pieces of mail going out every year and 1 million pieces of mail coming in every week. It holds the records for 80 million people. I welcome what the Secretary of State has said about improving electronic transfer, but I urge her to ensure that adequate funding and training are also included, because without it we cannot take the staff and the agency forward into the 21st century.
