Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much his Department spent on travel that was not standard class in each of the last five years.

Asked by:
Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

The Department for Transport currently consists of a Central Department, three Accident Investigation Branches and four executive agencies.

Up until 31 March 2015, the Departmental family also included the Highways Agency.

Each agency has a different travel provider and information on spend is not held centrally.

From the 1st October 2014, the policy on first class travel changed and first class travel is now no longer available to Civil Service Staff in the Department for Transport except in exceptional circumstances.
