Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what criteria are used for Ministers to fly on RAF Envoy for domestic flights.

Defence Ministers working within the Ministry of Defence (MOD) are counted alongside entitled military personnel for Envoy use, thereafter the Secretary of State for Defence authorises Senior Ministers occasional use of the RAF CSAT aircraft, in fulfilment of their duties, when those aircraft are not committed to MOD tasks.

User priority decisions are made in coordination with Air Command and the MOD Defence Single Tasking Authority as required.
