Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many awaydays her Department has held for officials in (a) 2013 and (b) 2014 to date; and what the cost was of each such event.

The Home Department does not hold centralised information on the number and
cost of awaydays held for officials so this question could only be answered at
disproportionate cost.

At the start of this parliament, Home Office civil servants were issued
guidance making clear that awaydays and staff events should be held on official
premises where possible.
