Letter of correction from Stephen Hammond:

An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for Nottingham South (Lilian Greenwood) on 24 January 2014.

The full answer given was as follows:

[Stephen Hammond]

In total 12 civil servants have been re-employed by either Department for Transport central or one of its Agencies having been made voluntarily redundant or retired by the same organisation since May 2010. This is a very small percentage (less than 1%) of external recruitment over that period.

The correct answer should have been:

[Stephen Hammond]

In total 10 civil servants have been re-employed by either Department for Transport central or one of its Agencies having been made voluntarily redundant or retired by the same organisation since May 2010. This is a very small percentage (less than 1%) of external recruitment over that period.
