Earl Attlee
My Lords, from time to time that can happen. It is a very good point, but sometimes a Minister may be attending other meetings or events when he does not want to carry classified material, which is taken straight from his department to his home.
Lord Bradshaw
What do the Government anticipate will be the savings over a couple of years, say, of the lesser use of ministerial cars?
Earl Attlee
My Lords, in 2009-10, expenditure was £11.2 million; in 2010-11, it will be reduced to £7.6 million and in 2011-12 it will be down to £5.6 million. We hope to keep it at about that level.
