Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Answer of 28 January 2022 to Question 111521 on 10 Downing Street: Taxis, whether any vehicles were ordered on Downing Street's mini-cab account to take Downing Street staff to their homes or other locations between 8pm and 4am on the nights of (a) 13 November and (b) 17 December 2020.

There were no journeys other than one for a shift worker, similar to that outlined in my answer to the Rt Hon Member of 28 January 2022, UIN 111521.

This was not related to any gathering covered in the report of the Second Permanent Secretary, and the journey was in line with Cabinet Office travel policy guidance.
