The table below provides the relevant details of the air travel undertaken by myself and the Ministers of State at my Department since June 2007. No travel expenses were incurred as a result of bus or rail travel in the period. As the Deputy may be aware, the cost of the Government Jet is charged to the Vote of the Department of Defence.
