DWP spends £30K a day on hotel rooms

Over the past three years the Department of Work and Pensions has spent, on average, £11.6 million per year on hotel accommodation (this figure does not include foreign hotel accommodation which is apparently recorded separately).

Just to put that into a little perspective, that's just over £30,000 a day, or alternatively, buying a BMW X3 every day for three years.

That could be 400 plus rooms a day, assuming it's at civil service rates. Thinks, I wonder if this includes hotel rooms rolled up in the costs of training courses and conferences where it is not separately identified.
