Book Closed, DVLA Workers Sacked Over Porn Scandal

The government body and registrations provider DVLA has finally closed the book on their recent porn scandal, following the conclusion of their enquiry into the circulation of "inappropriate" emails during 2005 and 2006.

A total of 18 members of DVLA's 6000 plus staff have been sacked, and a further 147 officially reprimanded. The guilty members of staff were found to have downloaded or sent pornographic material.

This scandal is not the only one to have hit the DVLA in the past few years. The tale began in July 2005 when a female worker was dismissed after sending a video clip of her having sex with her boyfriend, via her mobile phone.

Then, in October 2006, 65 DVLA workers found themselves facing disciplinary action following a thorough scrutiny of company servers for inappropriate material.

About the content discovered on company computers in the enquiry, a DVLA worker told the South Wales Evening Post:

"It is everywhere. It is hardcore stuff and very offensive. A lot of people have been unhappy to have the emails popping up on their computers".

A spokeswoman for the DVLA said all staff had been reminded about the rules governing the use of work emails.

"The matter is now officially closed"
