View answerI travelled to New Orleans and Atlanta on behalf of the Government for a schedule of events around St. Patrick's Day, arriving on 13 March 2012 and departing on 18 March 2012. The Minister of State at my Department attended events in Glasgow and Edinburgh from 14 March 2012 to 18 March 2012. The full cost of these trips is not yet available in my Department.
