Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to publish the total funding allocated to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy's Assisted International Travel Scheme Fund on an annual basis since 2010; and if so, when.

Answer

The British Standards Institution (BSI) is required to publish an annual report detailing how the annual grant funding it receives from my Department is spent, including the funding for the Assisted International Travel Scheme. The reports are published on the BSI website but the relevant information has been collated here for ease of reference. Departmental funding largely reflects the levels requested by BSI to support agreed participation in international committee meetings.
