Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many domestic overnight visits Ministers within their Department have taken in each of the last three financial years; and what the cost to the public purse was of those visits.

The Government publishes the cost of overseas ministerial travel, including the travel ticket costs and other costs like accommodation and meals, on the GOV.UK website. However, as has been the case under successive administrations, the Government does not publish granular detail on ministers’ travel at home or abroad.
