<p>The Home Office does not publish the information sought to the level of granularity
required. Identifying hospitality spending specifically can only be obtained at disproportionate

and this is grouped together with travel and subsistence expenditure.</p><p>You can
refer to the links and pages below for the available published information that relates
to spending on travel, subsistence and hospitality:</p><p>Page 159 of the 2020-21
