The Northern Ireland Prison Service is able to provide a breakdown of UK and international travel expenditure from 2003-04. To split the expenditure in the same way prior to this would involve a manual investigation of all claims which would incur disproportionate costs.

FSNI’s current finance system has only been in operation since 2006-07 and groups expenditure on travel under the same heading as subsistence so the above figures include both travel and subsistence. Figures before 2006-07 could be provided only at disproportionate cost as this would involve a manual investigation of claim forms.
