Written question asked by James Cleverly (Conservative) on Friday, 19 June 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 23 June 2026. It was answered by Matthew Pennycook (Labour) on Monday, 3 August 2026 on behalf of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
Homes England: Conferences
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Answer of 20 October 2025 to Question 78246 on Homes England: Conferences, what was the cost to the public purse of the seven Homes England staff attending the MIPIM conference; and whether any departmental staff attended.
- Answer
-
The total cost to the public purse of seven Homes England staff attending the four-day 2024 MIPIM conference was £31,787.29. This figure includes the cost of flights and some expenses.
The previous referenced answer incorrectly stated that the reported total included flight costs when, in fact, it did not. Please consider this a correction of that answer.
Details of travel and subsistence usage by Homes England staff are set out in the Agency’s Annual Report. Over 98% of this total was for travel, hotels, and conference tickets with the remaining 2% covering reasonable expenses such as subsistence.
Details of senior MHCLG officials’ hospitality are published on a quarterly basis and are available on GOV.UK.
