The details requested by the Deputy are provided in the tables. The tables show the cost incurred by my Department each month, from 14 June 2007 to 13 November 2007, in respect of travel undertaken by me and by the Ministers of State at my Department using the modes of transport specified by the Deputy. The frequency of travel under each of the categories of transport is also provided.

The tables do not include travel using the Government jet, the costs of which are borne by the Department of Defence, travel organised and paid for by the development agencies under the aegis of my Department, or travel organised and paid for by international bodies. I will arrange for data in this respect to be supplied to the Deputy but it has not been possible to compile the information in the time available.
