Written question asked by Mike Wood (Conservative) on Thursday, 30 October 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 3 November 2025. It was answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds (Labour) on Friday, 7 November 2025 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.
Government Hospitality: Wines
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 13 October 2025 to Question 70512 on Government Hospitality: Wines, what the cost of each transaction from Berry Bros was since 4 July 2025; and which items were purchased.
- Answer
-
As has been the case under successive administrations, a detailed breakdown of each item in a purchase is not routinely published. Details of Government Procurement Card spending over £500 is published on gov.uk.
In March this year, the Government took action to cancel government procurement cards and this is working. In the first 4 months after introducing these changes, spend on GPCs has decreased by £25m (30%) across government compared with the previous 4 months.
