Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what the (a) planning, (b) setting up and (c) running costs of the Civil Nuclear Showcase Event held in the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, London from 28 February to 1 March 2017 were; which companies attended that event; and what cost was charged to each company for its attendance at that event.
Answered by Greg Hands - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)
To attend the Civil Nuclear Showcase 2017, UK-based companies were charged £234 including VAT to attend, £144 including VAT for those who made use of the ‘early bird’ rate. Income from attendance fees was £19,908 and from sponsorship £21,000, giving a net cost for the event of £106,749. This is expected to fall farther once various expected reimbursements are taken into account.
