The Office of the Public Guardian and the National Offender Management Service Agency cannot separately identify expenditure on vehicle hire from within their accounting system and their expenditure is not included. Furthermore, the figures provided may be incomplete because there may be expenditure on hire vehicles assigned to generic travel and subsistence codes which cannot be separately identified from the accounting system.
To collate the information for the constituent parts of Government that were merged to form the Ministry of Justice for the years 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07 would incur disproportionate cost.
