Taxis

Question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much has been spent by his Department on taxi travel in the 2005–06 financial year; and what proportion of such travel was undertaken in each nation and region of the UK, including London.
Answer

In the first eight months of 2005–06, the Treasury spent £86,000 on taxi travel and courier services. The Treasury has a combined contract for taxi and courier services and it is not feasible to disaggregate the courier element. An analysis of the travel by nation and region could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
