Cabinet Office: Public Expenditure

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much his Department has spent on (a) art, (b) wine and (c) hospitality in each of the last seven financial years for which figures are available.

Answer

The Cabinet Office has not purchased any art within the previous 7 financial years from 2010-11 to 2016-17.

The information requested on hospitality is not held centrally and therefore is only available at disproportionate cost. Overall spend on Travel, Subsistence and Hospitality can be found in the Cabinet Office annual report and accounts. The annual report and accounts for financial year 2010-11 to 2016-17 are accessible from the Gov.uk website at www.gov.uk/government/publications

The information requested on wine is not held centrally and therefore is only available at disproportionate cost.
