The Government has been accused of playing "Russian roulette" with the safety of DVLA employees as the infectious Omicron variant of coronavirus rages around Swansea, after claims that it has limited the number of people who can work from home.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the DVLA has had 1,700 staff who have tested positive for the virus, and has taken measures to ensure 2,500 of its 6,000 staff have been able to work from home.
But Swansea MP Geraint Davies and workers' trade union PCS feel that is not enough, and say they feel there should be more investment in home working to ensure the safety of more staff. There is currently 45 or fewer staff members who have the virus at present.
