Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, how much his department has spent on accommodation for staff of agencies and other public bodies sponsored by his department, broken down by (i) UK stays and (ii) overseas stays in the 2024-25 financial year.

The Scotland Office sponsors one advisory non-departmental public body, the Boundary Commission for Scotland. The Commission does not directly employ staff; its secretariat is provided by the Scottish Government. Expenditure on overnight accommodation for staff supporting the Commission in the 2024-25 financial year was nil.
