The FCDO is not planning to make a financial contribution to the proposed Industrial Park in the Banteng Region of Indonesia. There is great potential to increase trade and investment flows between the UK and Indonesian as set out in the UK-Indonesia Partnership Roadmap which was launched in April 2022. In February 2022, I [Minister Trevelyan] visited Indonesia as Secretary of State for International Trade to hold the first UK-Indonesia Joint Economic Trade Committee (JETCO) in support of achieving our joint ambition for our future trade relationship.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to his Department's publication of ministerial travel data for April to June 2023, how much of the published £38,555.99 cost of his trip to Japan, the Pacific Islands, New Zealand and Indonesia from 15 to 22 April was made up of his (a) share of the £561,531.04 cost of the flights for that trip, (b) accommodation and (c) meals and other expenses.
Answered by David Rutley - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
Overall figures of government spend are regularly published as part of transparency releases. These figures could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.
Foreign travel is a vital part of diplomacy. It is in the national interest that the Foreign Secretary and other Ministers travel abroad to pursue UK interests. Value for money is taken into account in all travel decisions.
