Civil Service: Redundancy

Question: To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Wallace of Saltaire on 24 April (WA 386), why they do not record centrally and publish the annual numbers and costs of redundancies under the Civil Service Compensation Scheme by individual civil service departments and agencies, and the total annual cost of such pension payments and lump sums on retirement.[HL462]

Answer: The matter of early departures is delegated to individual departments to determine, as are decisions on redundancies and other early exits. It is for departments to report such information in their resource accounts each year.
