*The survey count was as follows: North (104), Midlands (103), South (76), London (138), Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland (44).
The source defined domestic business trips as follows: 'Any journey made within the UK for business purposes, including domestic travel to international airports/ports, but excluding commuting, and excluding overseas travel'.
Percentage points exceeding 100 percent/missing to 100 percent are probably due to rounding.
