Ministerial Travel Expenses

Mr. Adley
asked the Minister of Overseas Development if she will table details  of her expense accounts on overseas travel during her period of office.

Mrs. Hart
I regret that this information is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. When travelling overseas, I receive subsistence allowance at the same rate as senior civil servants and incidental expenses are reimbursed in accordance with the same rules.
