Response
Responded: 24 July 2017
The committee is an independent non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). We are subject to the department’s business travel policy, and use its contracted booking agents for travel arrangements. I understand that DWP has already responded to a similar request for information.
In terms of the committee’s expenditure on business travel, this is routinely made available in our annual reports which can be found at: www.gov.uk/ssac.
Read the committee’s 2016-17 annual report.
