Activity included attendance of the following events: Farnborough Air Show, Cross government events and the IOD, CIPD and CBI conferences. Due to fears over duplication with MOD recruitment activity at these events, approval has only been given for IOD, CIPD and CBI conference activity, with expenditure not exceeding £15,000. (NB - as this was additional spend of a low amount, this was not submitted to MCO). £15,000 17/06/2014
