Prime Minister: Climate Change Convention

Asked by Mr Andrew SnowdenConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 17 November 2025UIN 88936

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the cost was of the Prime Minister's attendance at COP30.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

Ministerial travel is undertaken using efficient and cost-effective travel arrangements. Security considerations are also taken into account. Information about official overseas travel is published as part of the Cabinet Office transparency returns and made available on the GOV.UK website. It has been the practice that official Prime Ministerial flights are carbon offset where that is possible. Civil Servants and Special Advisers routinely travel with the Prime Minister, including so as to provide support in the conduct of any official duties, which can arise at any time.
