Bankers’ Bonuses
"The hon. Lady makes a number of important points, and I agree with most of them.
I was asking whether the Government are ideologically committed to this policy, since no banker is prepared to admit that they had lobbied for it. If that is the case, and it looks like …..."Jon Trickett - View Speech

Bankers’ Bonuses
"My hon. Friend has caught my next point. In the interest of social justice, the country feels that a 2% cap on the salaries of public sector employees and the lifting of the cap on already over-remunerated bankers is the wrong way for the Government to go. I agree with …..."Jon Trickett - View Speech

Bankers’ Bonuses
"The Minister will have heard me talking about a person in the City being remunerated £68 million in a single year. Of that, £200,000 was the basic pay, and the rest was bonus. I think the Minister is resting his case on the expansion of basic salaries, but that is …..."Jon Trickett - View Speech

Written Question
Tuesday 25th October 2022
Asked by:
Jon Trickett (Labour - Normanton and Hemsworth)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much his Department spent on taxi cabs for (a) ministers and (b) civil servants in each of the last three years.
Answered by Felicity Buchan
HM Treasury’s taxi cabs spend for 2019-20 to 2021-22 can be found in the table below
Financial Year | Spend |
2019/20 | £81,250.84 |
2020/21 | £29,276.24 |
2021/22 | £42,529.55 |
The provision of our taxi contract does not differentiate between ministers and officials, so we do not have that level of detail.
Taxis are defined as a car available with a driver for hire, including a minicab.

The Growth Plan
"Is it not clear that the Chancellor’s growth plan only grows one part of the economy: the bankers’ bonuses and the incomes of the richest in our society? If he really wants to cut through the cycle of low pay, poor productivity and low economic growth, should he not be …..."Jon Trickett - View Speech
