Fourteen staff at the UK Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency in Swansea have been sacked for distributing hardcore pornographic images. 

The workers were fired following a three-month inquiry, in which a further 101 employees were disciplined by managers.

The DVLA stated that the sacked workers had used the organisation's computer systems to send pornographic images out of the building, which broke the agency's code of conduct. 

An employee told a local newspaper that a lot of staff were unhappy at receiving the images on their machines. "It is everywhere, it is hardcore and very offensive," the employee said.

The agency had previously sacked a 24 year-old female employee after she filmed herself on a mobile phone having sex and sent the clip to 300 DVLA staff.
