§ Matthew TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will list visits made by each Minister in the Department between December 2003 and April 2004, broken down by(a) date, (b) constituency visited and (c) cost. [171559]
§ Mr. Stephen TwiggFor domestic visits, the Department does not hold this detailed information centrally. To provide this information could only be done at disproportionate cost.
For overseas visits, the Government publishes on an annual basis the total costs of all ministerial overseas travel and a list of all visits by Cabinet Ministers costing in excess of £500. Information for 2003–4 is currently being collected and will be published as soon as it is ready.
