Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much their Department has spent on air travel for (a) Ministers and (b) officials in (i) 2020, (ii) 2021 and (iii) 2022.

The Home Office does not hold the information in the format requested. This is because we do not have separate codes or fields for Ministers’ and Officials’ travel in our management systems.

However the Home Office does report expenditure on total official business travel (including domestic air travel) and domestic air travel separately in the Annual Report and Accounts, which includes both Ministers and Officials.

Please refer to page 53 of the 2021-22 Annual Report and Accounts.
