Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what the total number of (a) air miles and (b) flights conducted by his Department's staff was in each of the last ten years.
Answered by
Michael Shanks
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) was created in February 2023, so no information is held for periods prior to that date. For the information requested, anything prior to January 2024 was all still recorded as BEIS, so it mixes all three departments together and is unable to be split.
The total air miles conducted in DESNZ from January 2024 to September 2024 was 3,211,644 and the total number of flights was 1130. Some of these flights were single flights whilst others were round trips.
