§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will make it her policy that rail.journeys undertaken by staff in her Department should ordinarily be on standard class tickets. [40433]
§ Clare ShortOur policy on rail travel has been in place for many years and is derived from guidance which applied across the civil service. It has served us well but we propose to review it to define more clearly that the class of travel should be determined by business need not the grade of the traveller.
