The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many nights were spent in hotels by Departmental staff in financial year 2024-25 by the star rating of the hotel.

Answered by Ian Murray

The Department uses a travel management company to book hotel accommodation for staff. The star rating of the hotel is not recorded. The department’s travel and expenses policy ensures value for money by setting clear limits for hotel costs.
