Written question asked by Baroness Seccombe (Conservative) on Tuesday, 22 July 2014, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 5 August 2014. It was answered by Lord Wallace of Saltaire (Liberal Democrat) on Tuesday, 29 July 2014 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.
Cabinet: Aberdeen
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the estimated cost to the Exchequer of holding the Cabinet meeting in Aberdeen on 24 February.
- Answer
-
The central cost of holding Cabinet in Aberdeen was £1,800. This is a considerable reduction from the cost of regional Cabinet meetings under the previous administration, which were reported through Parliamentary Questions to have cost between £50,000 and £100,000.
As was the case under previous administrations, Departments and agencies may also have incurred costs in terms of travel, staff time and other support. The cost of police security is a matter for the relevant police force.
