Details of this expenditure are not held centrally because decisions are made by individual FCO departments. It would therefore be disproportionately costly to calculate the total amount disbursed over the past five years.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 16/05/2018 12:55:32 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
