Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 7 November to Question 67063, how much of the £243,892.79 spent on flights and accommodation between April 2022 and September 2022 related to costs incurred by officials.

The Department is unable to separate the cost of officials’ or ministers’ flights and accommodation from other types of travel related expenditure as to do so would represent a disproportionate cost.

However, the details, including the cost of all DIT Ministerial travel, can be found on www.gov.uk -https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dit-ministerial-gifts-hospitality-travel-and-meetings.
