Government Departments: Translation Services

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the answer of 23 January 2026, to Question 106143, on Government Departments: Translation Services, if her Department will make it their policy to collate data on Government spending on (a) translation and (b) interpretation into foreign languages for those residing in the United Kingdom.

Answer

I refer the Rt Hon member to the answer given to UIN 106143, on the 23rd January 2026.

There are no plans at present for HM Treasury to change how it collects or receives data on this issue given spending on such services typically falls below Delegated Authority Limits.
