MPs: Toughen Government card rules

Stricter rules must be introduced to stop Government credit cards being open to abuse by civil servants, MPs have warned.

A one-off Cabinet Office investigation found 99 cases of "inappropriate use" of the cards in Whitehall over the past three years, according to the Public Accounts Committee. MPs found rules over use varied significantly between departments and highlighted the Department for Work and Pensions, which "doesn't even have receipts for a third of its transactions".
