Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the transparency data entitled FCDO ministerial gifts, hospitality, travel and meetings, April to June 2022, published by his Department on 29 September 2022, how much his Department spent on his predecessor's (a) accommodation, (b) meals and (c) other expenses excluding air travel during her visit to (i) Oman and (ii) India from 29 March to 1 April 2022; and whether another party contributed towards any of these costs.

All FCDO transparency and freedom of information releases are published on gov.uk. Transparency data has been published in this way since 2009/2010. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/letter-from-the-prime-minister-on-government-transparency-and-open-data.

It is standard practice across government to publish total overseas travel cost figures for Ministers. These can be found in our published Quarterly Transparency Returns.
