The amounts spent by the Department on taxi travel for the requested financial years are:

  • 2019/20: £545,972
  • 2020/21: £195,022
  • 2021/22: £200,403.

These are the full amounts for both ministers and civil servants. The Department only has total figures readily available and so does not have the split for ministers and civil servants.
