Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how much the Government has spent on overnight accommodation for (a) ministers, (b) special advisers and (c) officials relating to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiation process; and if he will make a statement.

I refer the hon Member to my answer of 9 March to question UIN 29561 concerning travel costs incurred by Ministers and officials in relation to the negotiations for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. My answer would also apply to cost of overnight accommodation.
