Answer

Regional Cabinets and associated visits allow Ministers to hear at first hand the views of people in different areas of the country. The region, timing and venue of the Cabinet meeting were decided in consultation with the Cabinet Secretary.

There was no cost for using the venue. Departments and agencies will have incurred costs in terms of travel, staff time and other support. The cost of any security provided by the police is a matter for the relevant police force.
