Volume 474: debated on Wednesday 26 March 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much was spent between April and November 2007 on vehicles contracted by the Government Car and Despatch Agency to transfer high court judges between their official residences and the courts. (195936)

The amount spent between April and November 2007 on vehicles contracted by the Government Car and Despatch Agency for use in the transfer of high court judges between their official residences and the courts was £289,000. This figure contains a small element of costs associated with other official visits related to the high court judges’ time out on circuit, including inspection visits to prisons, sites of crime and some official public functions and not just those between the lodgings and courts.
