To provide an answer to the cost of private charter flights since 2010 would incur a disproportionate cost. Information for charter flights used by ministers during 2022 has been provided below. Private charter flights are occasionally used for prisoner repatriations and for travel by ministers and senior civil servants when suitable commercial flights are not available.</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">In respect of the use of charter flights for ministers, during 2022, one private charter flight was used by the Deputy Prime Minister and nine officials for return travel to the Hague at a cost of £22,895.
