Written question asked by Lord Laird (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) on Monday, 24 November 2008.
Northern Ireland Office: Taxis
- Question
- asked Her Majesty's Government:Further to the Written Answer by the Lord President (Baroness Royall of Blaisdon) on 30 October (WA 181) concerning the expenditure of the Northern Ireland Office on taxis, why the cost of taxis has risen by 121 per cent in four years.
- Answer
-
The Northern Ireland Office (NIO) keeps the cost of travel on official business under regular review. Following a review in 2007 the department adopted a policy which made greater use of taxis rather than private hire cars. While this change in policy has led to an increase in the cost of taxis, it has generated estimated whole year net savings of £150k.
