answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2022 answer text <p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 25/10/2022 14:14:33 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin
