Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Travel
(asked on 6th December 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how much her Department spent on travel that was not standard class in each of the last five years.
The table below sets out expenditure on rail and air travel that was not standard class during financial years 2011/12 to 2015/16, and as a proportion of spend on all ticket types.
Financial Year | 2011/12 (£000) | 2012/13 (£000) | 2013/14 (£000) | 2014/15 (£000) | 2015/16 (£000) |
Expenditure | 267 | 366 | 399 | 303 | 150 |
Proportion of expenditure | 19% | 21% | 18% | 13% | 8% |
These figures include the following classes of travel: business, first, mixed, other and premium economy.
The figures up until May 2012 are likely to be understated since they only take information from our travel supplier’s system. During this period it was possible for non-standard travel to be booked via a different method.
