(a) The Public Sector Commission does not provide any standard definition of the term 'Corporate Hospitality'. As a result of the lack of a standard definition, the information cannot be appropriately and uniformly provided to reflect the Member's question. The Member has however identified a specific example and in the interests of an open and accountable Government - part (b) has been answered with respect to expenditure on 'Corporate Boxes'.
