<p>The central cost of holding Cabinet in Aberdeen was £1,800. This is a considerable
reduction on regional Cabinet meetings under the previous administration, which cost
between £50,000 and £100,000. Departments and agencies will also have incurred costs
in terms of travel, staff time and other support. The cost of any security provided
by the police is a matter for the relevant police force.</p><p>Holding Cabinet meetings
in different parts of the UK allows Ministers to hear at first hand the views of people
in different areas, and Ministers visited various locations in the region following
the meeting.</p><p> </p>
