Ministry of Justice: Charter Flights

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 4 November 2022 to Question 73001 on Ministry of Justice: Charter Flights, how much his Department spent on private charter flights in each year since 2018.

Answer

Private charter flights are occasionally used for prisoner repatriations, however the MoJ does not routinely monitor spend on private charter flights of this type because of very low volume of use. The below shows the data available without incurring a disproportionate cost.
