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 John Hayes (Conservative) on Tuesday, 28 February 2017 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Department for Transport: Uber

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much his Department has spent on (a) Uber for Business and (b) other Uber transactions since 28 October 2016.

Answer

I confirm that my Department has nil direct spend via purchase orders or contracts with Uber private hire services to date.

Departmental staff may, exceptionally, claim taxi or private hire fares when on official business. The Department electronically records the type of travel e.g. private hire and the amount claimed on the travel expenses accounting systems but does not in all cases centrally record or identify separately the name of the firm used.
