(a) - (b)
Although some cards have high limits these are necessary to facilitate payment of accounts including rent. It is anticipated that limits will be reduced for some such as executive officers at the time of introducing a workable in house payment process in the near future.
Information for Ministers is as follows, any other details on credit card limits may be obtained through a freedom of information application so that appropriate considerations can be made with respect to the provision of personal information.
