HL Deb 07 January 2003 vol 642 c169WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether it is their policy to encourage Ministers and Permanent Secretaries to use public transport to make their daily journeys to and from their departments. [HL821]

Lord Willilams of Mostyn

All travel complies with the requirements of theMinisterial Code, Travel by Ministers and the Civil Service Management Code as appropriate. In deciding the mode of travel for home to office journeys, individuals will take into account business considerations such as the need to work on official papers, some of which may carry a protective marking. For some individuals, security considerations will also be relevant.
