WQ.277/2022
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE
MINISTER FOR EXTERNAL RELATIONS AND FINANCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY S.Y. MÉZEC OF ST. HELIER SOUTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 7th NOVEMBER 2022 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 14th NOVEMBER 2022
Question
“Will the Minister provide a full breakdown of the overseas visits he has attended this year since taking office, including the cost of each visit and the number of officers who accompanied him on each one?”
Answer
Since 2017, following a review by the Chief Minister of the time, spending on travel costing more than £500 has been published regularly on the Government Open Data Source website, which is accessible here.
Figures for travel by the Minister of External Relations (MER) will be available in due course once all statements and invoices have been received for the visits since taking office in July 2022.
Where the Minister’s official meetings are in London, he is joined by officers from the Jersey London Office so no flight or hotel costs are incurred for them. Similarly for engagements in France, which are organised by the Bureau des Isles Anglo Normandes (BIAN), and to Brussels, which are coordinated by the Channel Islands Brussels Office (CIBO). The meetings in France and Brussels were joint visits with Guernsey.
