Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, which people, excluding Ministers and Diplomats, have represented the Government at inaugurations abroad since May 2010; and what the cost was of that representation in each such case.

Invitations to attend the inaugurations of new foreign and Commonwealth Heads of State are considered on a case by case basis. The FCO does not hold a central list of those who have attended inaugurations either as an official UK representative or in a private capacity.

The requested information is not, therefore, available without incurring disproportionate cost.
