To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how much (a) the Cabinet Office, (b) its agency and (c) the Prime Minister’s Office spent on taxis in the last financial year for which figures are available. (223038)

The Prime Minister’s Office forms an integral part of the Cabinet Office.

Due to the way that taxi costs are recorded on the Cabinet Office accounting system, it is not possible to extract the information requested without incurring disproportionate costs.

All official travel in the Department is undertaken strictly in accordance with the rules contained in the Cabinet Office Management Code.
