• Written Answers — Cabinet Office: 10 Downing Street: Official Hospitality 20 May 2025

  There are no plans to update inherited guidance in order to provide a breakdown of costs for individual receptions in the Cabinet Office Annual Report and Accounts. The cost of hospitality in 10 Downing Street is published in the Cabinet Office Annual Report and Accounts. The approach is in line and follows that of the previous administrations, which did not publish the information in this way.
