HC Deb 12 March 2002 vol 381 c931W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what the cost was of hotel accommodation for departmental staff working away from home in each of the last four years. [41068]

Dr. Howells

In DCMS travel and subsistence administration is contracted out and there is no electronic record of hotel accommodation. To provide this information would involve a manual check of each travel and subsistence claim which could be undertaken only at disproportionate cost.
