The total bill since 2021/22 is £60,918.49. The UK DOGE Unit has received proprietary financial information relating to spending on ministerial away days:
- 2021/22 – £22,066.29
- 2022/23 – £13,061.69
- 2023/24 – £14,681.37

- Chequers: £2,860.74 with a breakdown as follows: AV: £1,665.77, Catering: £1,123.37, Travel: £71.60. Nice for some…
