To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the destination was of each official visit by (a) Ministers in his Department and (b) officials in his Department, its agencies, HM Revenue and Customs and the Valuation Office Agency in each of the last three years. (321174)

[holding answer 8 March 2010]: Ministers and officials of the Treasury, its agencies, HM Revenue and Customs and the Valuation Office Agency undertake official visits throughout the UK and wider. A central record of the destination of such visits is not kept centrally, and compiling the information could not be achieved within the disproportionate costs threshold.
