Mr. George Osborne: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the cost of travel within the UK for the Department was in each year since 1997; and how much of this was spent on (a) hire cars, (b) helicopter hire, (c) hotel accommodation and (d) subsistence. [206467] Fiona Mactaggart: Home Office rules provide for the reimbursement of extra expenses "necessarily" incurred in carrying out official duty and in certain other specified circumstances. The overriding principle is that: where no extra expense is incurred no reimbursement is due. Overall expenditure on travel and subsistence is controlled through devolved budgets that enable managers to keep under review both the need for official travel and the economy of the travel arrangements. Managers are required to satisfy themselves that, for instance, regular travel commitments or programmes cannot be curtailed or reorganised, that meetings involving costly travel are really necessary, that the venue is appropriate, that only the necessary numbers of staff attend; and consider the desirability of requiring their staff to declare their forward visit proposals for prior approval. Where staff undertake necessary official travel, managers are required to ensure that they do so by the most efficient and economic means, taking all costs into account. Travel costs for the core Home Office have been held centrally only since 1996; totals as follows: £ _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 Helicopter 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Travel 3,898,126 3,270,766 3,187,174 4,245,879 6,348,417 8,732,248 12,406,053 Hire car 223,585 158,266 228,841 281,549 785,179 1,782,070 1,912,341 Subsistence 5,737,985 1,366,151 1,729,980 3,260,704 3,920,093 5,267,013 6,459,101 Total 9,861,693 4,797,181 5,147,994 7,790,132 11,055,690 15,783,333 20,779,498 Percentage of total spend 0.14% 0.06% 0.06% 0.09% 0.11% 0.15% 0.06% _________________________________________________________________________________________________. The marked increases in travel costs since 2001 can largely be attributed to changes in strategy within the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) where increased staff numbers and the need to travel as a result of new policy initiatives to improve IND performance and reductions in unauthorised entry to the UK. Other contributing factors have been related to providing advice to the organisers of the 2002 Football World Cup in Japan and Euro 2004 in Portugal and the creation of new units to support the police reform agenda. Hotel accommodation costs and subsistence payments are recorded together against a general subsistence account on the General Ledger. Examination and extraction of hotel elements from T and S claims and the expenses payment system could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
