Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 27 January 2023 to Question 127921 on Prime Minister: Aviation, what information his Department records on the Prime Minister's use of flights within the UK, for official visits related to his role as Prime Minister.

Ministerial travel is undertaken using efficient and cost-effective travel arrangements.

As a whole, domestic flights within the United Kingdom allow Ministers to visit more parts of the United Kingdom in the time available, particularly areas further away from London, and reduce the need for overnight accommodation for Ministers and accompanying staff. Security considerations are also taken into account.

All flights are carbon offset.

Details of departmental business travel are published in the Cabinet Office audited annual report and accounts, including departmental figures on emissions for domestic and international flights.

It has been the practice of successive Administrations not to publish granular information relating to the official movements of protected individuals and those accompanying them within the United Kingdom.
