Question 137: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation the number of special advisers his Department has had since June 2007; the names of same; the amount each has claimed in expenses in each of the past three years; the amount that has been spent on travel, including foreign travel, and entertainment for each adviser in each of the past three years; if he will provide a detailed breakdown of these costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The following tables provide details of the amounts paid in expenses by my Department to each advisor in the last three years in the course of the performance of his or her official duties. Travel and subsistence expenses shown on the table include expenses incurred on official business at home and abroad, with the exclusion of air fares. The cost of air fares in respect of each individual is shown separately.
The air fare costs on the tables do not include any travel which may have been undertaken using the Government jet where an advisor may have been accompanying a Minister. The costs of use of the Government jet are borne by the Department of Defence. Nor do the air fares include the costs of air travel arranged by agencies of my Department in relation to trade missions or other international travel. While my Department reimburses travel expenses incurred by the agencies on behalf of Departmental staff and advisors in some situations, it would not be practicable to identify costs which may have been reimbursed in respect of the individuals concerned going back over three years.
