Determining the amount spent on taxi cabs in the last three years is not readily available from our management systems. This is because the cost information is not held in an easily identifiable format.
Firstly, the Home Office does not have separate codes or fields for Ministers’ and Officials’ travel in our management systems. To identify ministers costs separately would require a manual review of all relevant records held by our travel provider over a three year time period.
Secondly, many taxi journeys are also reimbursed via a manual expenses process. The information required to identify civil servant taxi claims is not easily distinguishable within the central financial system and a manual review of all these records would also be required.

That this House condemns the opaque and unjust process by which app-based couriers and private hire drivers working for companies such as UBER and Deliveroo can be blocked permanently from their accounts and thus effectively dismissed from their jobs; recognises that couriers and private hire drivers are key workers who are working on the frontline of the covid-19 pandemic and are often putting their own health at risk in the process; recognises that that practice of dismissal is leaving many key workers on low-incomes facing potential destitution; notes that transparency is lacking both in terms of what is expected of workers in those industries and around the reasons for their dismissal; further notes that workers are facing dismissal and destitution for reasons beyond their control such as technical issues with the company’s app; notes that such dismissals can be triggered by unfounded customer allegations or traffic delays, regardless of the worker’s length or quality of service; calls for all app-based companies to end unfair dismissals by implementing fair dismissal processes, including a hearing prior to dismissal, and the right to appeal a dismissal with union representation.
