Mary Creagh (Shadow Secretary of State for Transport; Wakefield, Labour)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make an estimate of the cost to the public use of the Law Commission review of taxis and private hire vehicles over the life of the review.


Stephen Hammond (The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport; Wimbledon, Conservative)

The quantifiable cost of the project to the Law Commission between July 2011 and 15 January 2014 is £345,800. This includes staff costs, travel costs and other expense and the cost of publications. The staff costs are those of the lawyers and research assistants working on the project. The figure does not include salary costs of other staff, nor of the Commissioner responsible, which are not separately recorded.

In addition, four officials within the Department for Transport have been involved in the review to varying degrees, resulting in a cost to the public purse of around £15,000.

They may not be separately recorded but it'd be a poor show if it hasn't been analysed prior to the project being given the go ahead.
