To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish the travel guidelines issued to staff of each of his Department’s agencies and non-departmental public bodies. (315145)

The British Council publishes its own travel guidelines which are available at:

http://www.britishcouncil.org/new/freedom-of-information/information-guide/policies/staff-policies/travel-and-expenses/

The other agencies and non-departmental public bodies sponsored by the Department have not published their own travel guidelines. However, the guidelines they use are based on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s own travel guidelines. I have placed a summary of these guidelines in the Library of the House.
