Travel Mr Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how much his Department spent on (a) the Government Car Service and (b) other taxi or car services for ministerial travel in each year since 2009-10; and if he will make a statement. [142636] Richard Benyon: The information is as follows. (a) Departmental spend on the Government Cars Service is published in an annual written Ministerial Statement, details of which can be found within the Libraries of both Houses: 2009-10 http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201011/ cmhansrd/cm101028/wmstext/ 101028m0001.htm#10102827000372 2010-11 http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201212/ cmhansrd/cm120116/wmstext/ 120116m0001.htm#12011611000194 2011-12 http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201213/ cmhansrd/cm121220/wmstext/ 121220m0001.htm#12122056000216 Details of the costs for 2012-13 will be published in the normal way later this year. (b) The Ministerial Code, published on 21 May 2010, included changes to the circumstances in which Ministers would be entitled to a car and driver. Junior DEFRA Ministers have given up their cars to reduce costs and currently use the central Government Cars Agency pool, unless the Secretary of State’s car is available. Private hire taxis are only used for ministerial travel when no other option is available, and when it is appropriate to do so. Since 2009, the costs were: Cost (£) 2009-10 22,705.05 2010-11 2,947.96 2011-12 2,515.05 2012 to date 2,389.94 UN Convention on Biological Diversity Barry Gardiner: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what progress the UK has made towards meeting the commitments it made at the Convention on Biodiversity Conference of the Parties in Nagoya on ecosystems mapping and accounting. [150060] Richard Benyon: The UK has been making steady progress in these new and complex areas. The Strategic Plan for Biodiversity agreed at Nagoya included a specific target to incorporate the values of biodiversity into national accounting and reporting systems by 2020. This forms part of our commitment to ensuring that natural capital is fully incorporated into the UK Environmental Accounts by the same date. The approach and milestones to achieve this goal have been set out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in an ambitious roadmap published in December 2012. DEFRA is now working with the ONS to implement this roadmap. The UK has also made good progress in relation to ecosystem mapping, although this is not covered by a specific strategic plan target. Relevant projects include the development of maps of ecosystem functioning by Natural England; the sectoral pilots of ecosystems mapping
