Question

I refer to the use of booking agents, booking platforms or multinational online travel agencies by departmental staff and Ministers, and I ask:
(a) in the last year have ministerial departments used the services of booking agents, booking platforms or multinational online travel agencies other than Corporate Travel Management (CTM) for the provision of accommodation for the Minister, ministerial staff and departmental staff; and
(b) if yes to (a), please list the following information:
(i) the name of the booking agency, booking platform or multinational online travel agency;
(ii) the number of times it was used;
(iii) for which portfolio area of responsibility;
(iv) who the booking was made for;
(v) and the reason for the travel; and
(vi) the reason why CTM was not used for the booking?

Answered on 11 April 2019

It is not mandatory for accommodation bookings to be made using Corporate Travel Management. 

Department of Education

(a)-(b)  The Department of Education does not capture this data centrally. To answer the   question fully, an intensive manual process reviewing all staff travel and supporting   documentation held by individual business areas would be required. I am not prepared   to devote further resources to provide this amount of detail
