Information requested
The full expense reports of Scottish Government delegates attending COP26 in Glasgow.
Response
I enclose a copy of expenses associated with Scottish Government attendees of COP26. Please note that the Scottish Government staff working at the COP conference’s ‘blue zone’ were provided with a free travel card, and further subsistence expenses were reimbursed by the UK Government.
The travel related expenses indicated below will include those individuals that travelled to the conference on an ad-hoc basis.
Please also note that many supporting staff worked from home during COP26, meaning they did not incur expenses.
