Unite union criticises ‘excessive’ figure while Labour says ‘Tory waste’ letting down taxpayers
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has come under fire after revelations that it has spent almost £13m on hire cars for staff this year.
A freedom of information (FoI) request by PA Media also showed that the Department for Transport spent more than £1.1m in the year to October, while other departments have spent tens of thousands of pounds. The total figure from responses to the FoI request was more than £14.2m.
