Written question asked by Iain Wright (Labour) on Monday, 20 February 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 22 February 2017. It was answered by Robert Buckland (Conservative) on Tuesday, 28 February 2017 on behalf of the Attorney General.


Attorney General: Uber

Question

To ask the Attorney General, how much the Law Officers' Departments have spent on (a) Uber for Business and (b) other Uber transactions since 28 October 2016.

Answer

None of the Law Officers’ Departments have an account with Uber and the Departments have no records of any direct expenditure on Uber for Business or any other Uber transactions.

Staff are able to book and pay for taxis themselves and claim these costs as expenses. It is possible that staff have booked taxis for business purposes using Uber and claimed these costs; however this cannot be specified without incurring disproportionate costs as each individual expenses claim would have to be investigated.
