Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, which ministers from other Government departments had their accommodation paid for by his Department when attending meetings of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2019; and what the (a) dates and (b) cost of the accommodation purchased for each minister.

Government Ministers who form part of the UK delegation to the United Nations General Assembly cover the costs of attendance from their own departmental budgets. It is standard practice across government to publish total overseas travel cost figures for Ministers. These can be found in the published Quarterly Transparency Returns.
