Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his declaration of ministerial travel published on 27 January, whether the total cost to the public purse of his overseas accommodation, meals, visas and other expenses excluding travel between 11 and 23 July 2021 was £1,766.68; and if he will publish an itemised breakdown of those costs.

Ministerial expenses and hospitality associated with business trips are reported and broken down as part of its transparency disclosures available on gov.uk. I can confirm the £6,687.68 figure was for accommodation, meals, visas and other expenses excluding travel between 11 and 23 July 2021
