Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 25 November 2024 to Question 15186 on 10 Downing Street: Official Hospitality, whether he plans to provide costs for individual receptions in 10 Downing Street in the Cabinet Office Annual Report and Accounts.

There are no plans to update inherited guidance in order to provide a breakdown of costs for individual receptions in the Cabinet Office Annual Report and Accounts. The cost of hospitality in 10 Downing Street is published in the Cabinet Office Annual Report and Accounts. The approach is in line and follows that of the previous administrations, which did not publish the information in this way.
