Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what his estimate is of the cost of (a) ministerial cars and drivers and (b) taxis for his Department in each of the last two years. [202409] Mr. Pearson: In relation to the cost of ministerial cars for the 2002-03 year I would refer to the response given by the then Minister for the Cabinet Office (Mr. Alexander) on 13 November 2003, Official Report, columns 397-98W. A letter was deposited in the Library in relation to this response which gave the cost of ministerial cars for Northern Ireland Office (NIO) Ministers while in mainland Great Britain. The cost of ministerial cars for NIO Ministers while in Northern Ireland cannot be extracted from other costs relating to the security and protection of Ministers. In relation to ministerial cars for the 2003-04 year. My hon. Friend the Minister for the Cabinet Office has asked Nick Matheson, Chief Executive of the Government Car and Despatch Agency to write to the hon. Member with details of the cost of ministerial vehicles provided to his Department in 2003-04. This correspondence will include details on the cost of cars for Northern Ireland Office Ministers while in mainland GB. Again, the cost of ministerial cars for NIO Ministers while in Northern Ireland for 2003-03 cannot be extracted from other costs relating to the security and protection of Ministers. The costs of taxis booked using the Northern Ireland Office's travel booking service were £21,919.80 in 2002-03 and £13,954.12 in 2003-04. These figures do not include the costs of taxis used by staff for official purposes, the cost of which is recovered from the Department by way of expense claims. This answer relates only to the Northern Ireland Office and does not include information in respect of the 11 Departments of the Northern Ireland Administration.

John Thurso: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) how much funding has been provided to local authorities to enable them to conduct random roadside emissions tests as introduced in regulations in July 2002; [201209] (2) how many cars have failed random roadside emissions tests in each year since 1997; how many fixed penalties have been issued to drivers whose cars have failed random roadside emissions tests; and how many other enforcement actions have been taken against drivers whose cars have failed random roadside emissions tests; [201210] (3) how many vehicles other than cars have failed random roadside emissions tests in each year since 1997; how many fixed penalties have been issued to the owners of these vehicles in the same period; and how many other enforcement actions have been taken against the owners of these vehicles in the same period. [201211] Mr. Jamieson: £1,966,800 has been allocated to local authorities to carry out roadside emissions checks under the Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) (Fixed Penalty) (England) Regulations 2002. A pilot scheme allowing seven local authorities to carry out vehicle emissions tests took place between February 1998 and January 1999. Checks were also carried out by local authorities in the financial year 2003-04. The following table shows the number of cars that failed the check and the enforcement action taken. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1998-99 2003-04 Number of failures 2,336 2,100 Failure rate (percentage) 11 7 Fixed penalty 985 1-- Advised 1,351 1-- _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 Unknown Relatively few fixed penalties have been issued as the primary purpose of the local authority emissions checking scheme is not to generate revenue but to encourage motorists to regularly service and maintain their cars. The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) also carry out emissions checks on all vehicles including cars. VOSA do not issue fixed penalties. Instead, vehicles which fail a roadside emissions check are issued with a prohibition. This prohibits the vehicle from being moved from a date specified in the prohibition notice if the emissions levels are not rectified. The following table shows the numbers of prohibitions (Prb) issued for each category of vehicle failing a VOSA roadside emissions check since 1997and the failure rate as a percentage of all vehicles checked. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mr. Cameron: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office how much his Office has spent on (a) mobile telephone costs, (b) hospitality and (c) taxi costs in (i) 1996-97 and (ii) the last year for which figures are available. [185240] Ruth Kelly: [holding answer 19 July 2004]: Financial information prior to the 1997-98 financial year was recorded on a previous accounting system and cannot be readily retrieved without incurring disproportionate cost. Expenditure on mobile telephone is not separately identifiable on the Department's accounting system and therefore the information requested cannot be readily retrieved without incurring disproportionate cost. The department spent £484,000 on entertainment expenses in 2003-04. This amount includes refreshments provided at meetings, working lunches and other forms of hospitality. All expenditure on official entertainment and hospitality is made in accordance with published departmental guidance on financial procedures and propriety, based on the principles set out in "Government Accounting". The giving and receiving of hospitality is conducted fully in accordance with the guidance set out in the "Ministerial Code" and "Civil Service Code". For information on taxi costs I refer the hon. Member to the response given to the hon. Member for Arundel and South Downs (Mr. Flight) on 13 November 2003, Official Report, column 397W. Owing to changes in the Department's accounting system expenditure on taxis since 2002 is not separately identifiable and the information requested could only be provided at disproportionate costs.

David Davis: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what departmental expenditure was on (a) mobile telephones, (b) hospitality and (c) taxis in (i) 1996-97 and (ii) the latest accounting period for which figures are available. [184456] Fiona Mactaggart :[holding answer 16 July 2004]: The information requested is shown in the table. £ _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1996-97 2003-04 Mobile telephones 438,783.30 1,282,909.33 Taxis 1-- 435,416.24 Hospitality 2-- 89,072 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 Not available. The method for capturing travel and subsistence expenses in 1996-97 did not allow for a reliable separation of taxi costs. 2 Hospitality figures relate to the cost of providing refreshment for non-civil servants and for limited hospitality provided by civil servants for business purposes. Details of such expenditure have been held only since 1997-98, for which the figure is £37,747. Due to the nature of the Home Office's work, a large number of employees are involved in dispersed operations, which necessitate the use of mobile phones on a regular basis. Some organisations, like the National Probation Service, have also become part of the Home Office since 1997, and their costs are now included. The Department has contracts with major mobile phone companies to get the best deal for the tax payer.
