Departmental Expenditure

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how much her Department spent on bottled water in 2004–05.
Answer

For the financial year 2004–05 my Department spent a total of £20,400 on bottled water at its HQ offices in London, Guildford and York. Costs for the remainder of the estate would be very difficult to separately identify and are therefore not included. Similarly, the figure does not include the provision of bottled water for hospitality that is paid for from decentralised budgets.
