Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 26 June 2023 to Question 190517 on Cabinet Office: Official Hospitality, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of publishing the hospitality expenditure of business units in his Department.

We do not routinely publish this data, as has been the case under successive administrations. All Business Units within the Cabinet Office have a responsibility to keep official hospitality costs as low as possible and demonstrate good value for money.
