HC Deb 20 May 2003 vol 405 c661W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what the cost of(a) ministerial cars and drivers and (b) taxis for his Department was in 2002. [101541]

Mr. Alexander

The responsibility for the provision of ministerial cars and drivers has been delegated under the terms of the Framework Document to the Government Car Despatch Agency. I have asked its Chief Executive Mr. Nick Matheson to write to the hon. member. Copies of his letter will be placed in the Libraries of the House.

The amount spent on taxis by the Cabinet Office in the calendar year 2002, was £181,910.15.
