HC Deb 13 March 2002 vol 381 c1143W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make it his policy that rail journeys undertaken by staff in his Department should ordinarily he on standard class tickets. [40447]

Ms Blears

Section 8 of the Civil Service Management Code requires Departments and agencies to ensure that staff use the most efficient and economic means of travel in the circumstances, taking into account any management benefit or the needs of staff with disabilities. In line with that, the Department's policy is that all staff should consider travelling standard class unless they have a special need related to their work.
