The information requested by the Deputy is in the table below. As all travel and accommodation costs associated with my role as President of the Eurogroup are recoupable from the Council of the EU, my Department did not incur such costs for the relevant trips listed.
With the exception of two trips to London in September 2021 and March 2022, I was travelling on each occasion in my capacity as President of the Eurogroup.
The trip to London on 4th-5th September 2021 was to attend a British-Irish Association conference at Oxford University. While the trip incurred a travel cost as indicated below, there was no charge for my accommodation on campus. The travel costs incurred for the Brussels/London trip in March 2022, which included the official visit to London for St Patrick’s Day, are recoupable from the Council of the EU. The cost of my accommodation in London is included in the table below.
