Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has allocated (a) funding and (b) staff to the Government’s pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022.
Answered by Andrew Stephenson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
The Department for Transport (DfT) has provided £3m funding towards the costs of the Government’s pavilion at ExPo 2020 Dubai.
Staffing of the Government’s pavilion is the responsibility of the Department for International Trade, therefore no DfT staff have been assigned to work at the pavilion.
