Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the total expenses claimed by UK judges relating to their service in the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal were on (a) flights, (b) accommodation, (c) subsistence and (d) any additional expenses relating to their service on Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal in (i) 2019, (ii) 2020 and (iii) 2021.

The flights and other expenses incurred by UK Supreme Court justices for their sittings on the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal are settled directly by the Hong Kong Court. The UK Supreme Court holds no information about expenses related to justices sitting in Hong Kong, nor do they have information about fees or expenses for retired UK judges that sit on the Hong Kong Court.
