Departmental Expenditure

Question
(2) how much was spent on travel costs within the UK by staff of (a) his Department and (b) its agencies in each year since 2001-02.
Answer

For total travel costs for the years 2001-02 to 2003-04 inclusive, I refer to the answer given by the then Financial Secretary (Ruth Kelly) to the hon. Member for Twickenham (Dr. Cable) on 19 July 2004, Official Report, column 44W). Further analysis in relation to those years could now be provided only at disproportionate cost. Figures for 2004-05 and 2005-06 are set out in the following table.For the former HM Customs and Excise, the Royal Mint and the Office for National Statistics, travel cannot be disaggregated from travel and subsistence.
