Written question asked by Lord Laird (Ulster Unionist Party), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Shutt of Greetland (Liberal Democrat) on Wednesday, 15 December 2010.
Northern Ireland Office: Taxis
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Shutt of Greetland on 2 December (WA 484) concerning the use of taxis by Northern Ireland Office staff on 28 October, why taxis were considered appropriate in each case; by whom was each decision made; for what purpose they were required; and against what guidelines.
- Answer
-
All four taxi journeys were for work-related purposes. In two cases, the use of a taxi was the most cost effective method of transport to attend a business meeting. The remaining two journeys were to accommodate staff working unsocial hours, taking account of both cost and the availability of public transport. Decisions on the use of taxis are normally made by line managers.
