Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, if she will publish the (a) locations and (b) names of the hotels where her Department incurred expenditure of £2,129.84 and £1,883.33 on 15 January 2019; and how that expenditure was broken down by (i) accommodation, (ii) subsistence and (iii) other costs.

The hotel was booked for the World Economic Forum in Davos, and covered my Rt Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade, one Special Adviser and the Principal Private Secretary.

The Department does not disclose the names of hotels for security reasons.

The cost incurred was for accommodation. Demand for accommodation during this event is very high.
