Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will provide the (a) departure airport, (b) arrival airport and (c) date of each domestic flight he has taken since 13 February 2020.
As has been the case under successive Administrations, non-scheduled air travel is necessary at times for undertaking Government and Royal Household official visits. This may be to the timing and flexibility needed, for security reasons, or due to the location being visited. It can also provide better value for money in the cases of larger delegations (which can include journalists).
The Government's Transport Decarbonisation Plan has set out our plans to reach net zero aviation emissions by 2050 through new technology and sustainable aviation fuels.
The following chart outlines details of the domestic flights the Chancellor of the Exchequer has taken since 13 February 2020:
