Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate she has made of the cost of hotel bookings made for (a) Ministers, (b) special advisers and (c) officials in her Department in each of the last five years.
Overall expenditure on international Ministerial trips, which includes hotel costs, is published on the Government website:

Providing similar information for all DECC officials would incur disproportionate cost, as this information is not held centrally.
