Visits Abroad: Correction

The Secretary of State for Defence (Mr Ben Wallace)

Today I have made an online correction to parliamentary question 119455 answered on 10 February 2022.

Due to an administrative error incorrect data was reported in relation to my visit to the US in July 2021.

The total cost to the public purse of my overseas accommodation, meals, visas and other expenses excluding travel between 11 and 23 July 2021 was £6,687.68 and not as previously reported £1,766.68. This has now been corrected.
