Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how much their Department spent on hospitality in (a) 2021, (b) 2022 and (c) 2023.
We do not routinely publish this data, as has been the case under successive administrations. All Business Units within the Department for Business and Trade have a responsibility to keep official hospitality costs as low as possible and demonstrate good value for money. Details of ministerial and senior official hospitality are published on a quarterly basis, and are available on GOV.UK.
