Ministerial travel is undertaken in accordance with the Ministerial Code, ensuring efficiency and value for money for the taxpayer.

Since the inception of the Central Travel Contract on 1 September 2022, the department has commissioned an aircraft on 50 occasions in support of government ministers. This covers travel under both the current and previous administrations.
