DIT initially said Truss and three officials spent £182 of public money over three nights, but FoI response shows £2,080 spend
A government department is facing questions over an apparent failure to disclose that Liz Truss and three officials spent more than £2,000 of public money on meals and drinks during a three-night trip to Tokyo.
The bill relates to a visit by Truss, who was then trade secretary, to Japan in October 2020 to sign the UK’s first post-Brexit trade agreement, which she lauded at the time as an “historic moment” for both countries.
