Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the Answer of 28 December 2022 to Question 112071 on Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Aviation, what the cost was of the accommodation used by the former Minister of State for Business, Energy and Clean Growth on his visit to Indonesia from 27 August to 3 September 2022.
Answered by Graham Stuart
The Government publishes on gov.uk details of the total cost of overseas Ministerial travel, including costs of travel, and on other costs (visas, accommodation, meals). But as has been the case under successive administrations, the Government does not publish granular detail on Ministers’ travel at home or abroad, nor details of those accompanying them.
