Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much money from the public purse was spent by each of the Lords Lieutenants on (a) travel, (b) hospitality, (c) clothing and (d) other costs in each year since 2008.

The Cabinet Office publishes total Lord Lieutenancy Expenditure as part of its Annual Financial Accounts. Therefore the total amount of money from the public purse spent by Lord-Lieutenants on their expenses each year, dating back to 2008, is publicly available online using the following link.

The information requested on travel, hospitality, clothing and other costs for each Lieutenancy could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.
