Ministerial travel is undertaken using efficient and cost-effective travel arrangements. Security considerations are also taken into account. Travel plans will always vary and are decided with consideration of the best use of a Minister\u2019s time and in the interests of the taxpayer. Domestic flights within the United Kingdom allow Ministers to visit more parts of the United Kingdom in the time available, particularly areas further away from London, and reduce the need for overnight accommodation for Ministers and accompanying staff.<\/p>

As was the practice under the previous Administration, information about official overseas ministerial travel will be published as part of the Cabinet Office transparency returns and made available on the GOV.UK<\/a> website.<\/p>

Ministers, on occasion, are required to travel abroad for government business to enable the delivery of the government\u2019s objectives.
