Written question asked by Jim Cunningham (Labour) on Monday, 9 May 2016, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 12 May 2016 (named day). It was answered by Mark Francois (Conservative) on Thursday, 12 May 2016 on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government.


Department for Communities and Local Government: Taxis

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 5 May 2016 to Question 36169, how many taxi journeys his Department paid for in each of the last five years.

Answer

The Department records all travel spend under the category of travel and subsistence costs. This is reported in DCLG annual accounts. We are unable to break down the travel and subsistence costs to identify the number of taxi journeys in the last 5 years. This would involve manually analysing individual supplier transactions and could only be done at disproportionate cost.
