All expenditure within Core Defra relating to hospitality, food and drink is categorised within the Department\u2019s finance system under the single heading \u2018Catering and Hospitality\u2019. Therefore, identifying the separate amounts could only be achieved at disproportionate cost. For this reason, the table below sets out the information requested but incorporates combined figures for b) hospitality and c) food and drink.<\/p>
