Written question asked by Mark Francois (Conservative) on Wednesday, 23 May 2007, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 4 June 2007. It was answered by John Healey (Labour) on Thursday, 28 June 2007 on behalf of the Treasury.


Departments: Taxis

Question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much his Department spent on taxis in 2006-07.
Answer

Use of a taxi at the Treasury's expense is not an entitlement and official journeys should wherever possible be made on public transport. However, when there is no reasonable and cost-effective alternative, for example when travelling home after working late into the night, the Treasury may justify the use of a taxi. Expenditure in 2006-07 was £188,000.
