Written question asked by Jon Trickett (Labour) on Monday, 17 October 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 19 October 2022. It was answered by Jonathan Gullis (Conservative) on Monday, 24 October 2022 on behalf of the Department for Education.


Department for Education: Taxis

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much his Department spent on taxi cabs for (a) ministers and (b) civil servants in each of the last three years.

Answer

The amounts spent by the Department on taxi travel for the requested financial years are:

  • 2019/20: £545,972
  • 2020/21: £195,022
  • 2021/22: £200,403.

These are the full amounts for both ministers and civil servants. The Department only has total figures readily available and so does not have the split for ministers and civil servants.
