To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much his (a) Department and its predecessors and (b) its agencies and non-departmental public bodies has spent on travel for employees in each year since 1997.
The table contains the available travel cost figures for the Department for Transport and its agencies. The central Department is only able to provide figures solely for travel from 2006-07 onwards. Figures for 2004-05 and 2005-06 are for both travel and subsistence.
The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) can only provide figures from 2007-08, and Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) from 2005-06. Information for earlier years could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
