To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 17 January 2024 to Question 8709 on Treasury: Electronic purchasing card solution, what the latest figure available is for the number of government procurement cards held by people to make purchases against his Department’s budget.
HMT currently has 65 electronic government procurement cards in use as at 22/01/24.
I would note that procurement cards were introduced by the last Labour Government, who welcomed their use, saying they are a ‘good example of Government learning from the private sector’.
I would like to note that the levels of expenditure for 2022 as a comparable full calendar year totalled £119k which was on par with 2009’s total expenditure of £111k.
Procurement cards assist with the reduction in procurement bureaucracy, boost efficiency, support the Government’s prompt payment initiative for Small and Medium businesses, and help maintain cash flow to suppliers.
They are used as defined by the departmental procurement acquisition model, agreed by procurement and finance colleagues. Controls are in place that limit purchase types and values in line with individual departmental controls.

On 2 October 2023, The Chancellor announced an immediate cap on civil servant headcount across Whitehall to stop any further expansion, increase efficiencies and boost productivity.
The Civil Service grew in size to manage the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the illegal war in the Ukraine but it is right that we reduce the size of the Civil Service over time as we drive up productivity and deliver efficiencies.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answers of 20 October 2023 to Question 200249 and of 6 December 2022 to Question 97498 on Treasury: Incentives, for what reason the figures requested cannot be provided.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answers of 20 October 2023 to Question 200249 and of 6 December 2022 to Question 97498 on Treasury: Incentives, for what reason the figures requested cannot be provided.
HM Treasury issued £110,560 of non-cash vouchers to its core staff in the 2022-23 financial year. HMRC issued £819,800 of non-cash vouchers to its staff in 2022/23.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 6 December 2022 to Question 97498 on Treasury: Incentives, what the total value was of non-cash vouchers awarded to staff working for (a) his core Department and (b) HMRC as performance-related bonuses in 2022-23.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 6 December 2022 to Question 97498 on Treasury: Incentives, what the total value was of non-cash vouchers awarded to staff working for (a) his core Department and (b) HMRC as performance-related bonuses in 2022-23.
Bonuses paid out as non-cash vouchers is a standard practice across Government. Attracting, retaining and motivating highly skilled individuals is essential for the Civil Service to deliver for the British people. This is why pay must be fair and competitive as well as affordable to the taxpayer. Performance-related bonuses and vouchers are a key part of this.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Answer of 17 May 2022 to Question 130, how much his Department spent on outside catering services in 2022-23.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Answer of 17 May 2022 to Question 130, how much his Department spent on outside catering services in 2022-23.
HM Treasury has an external catering contract provided by the Government Property Agency as part of its standard lease service charge across its sites in London and Darlington, which is shared with other occupants of the buildings. Given this, total costs for catering services cannot be identified as some costs form part of the overall service charges that the department pays for its buildings.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her predecessors (a) received requests from and (b) made representations to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to discuss the (i) presence and (ii) potential cost implications of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) within state-funded education facilities between 13 February 2020 and...

It is the responsibility of those who run schools - academy trusts, Local Authorities and voluntary-aided school bodies - to manage the safety and maintenance of their schools and to alert the Department if there is a serious concern with a building. It has always been the case that where the Department is made aware of a building that may pose an immediate risk, immediate action is taken.
Ministers and officials have regular discussions with colleagues from His Majesty’s Treasury on a range of issues.
The 2021 Spending Review announced a budget of £19 billion of capital funding to support the education sector between 2022/23 and 2024/25. In addition to the Department’s targeted work on RAAC, we have continued to invest in improving the condition of schools and colleges, with over £15 billion allocated since 2015, including £1.8 billion committed for 2023/24, informed by consistent data on the condition of the estate. On top of this, the Department will transform 500 schools through the school rebuilding programme, prioritising buildings in the poorest condition and those with evidence of potential safety issues. In addition, £2.8 billion of capital investment has been allocated to further education colleges in England to transform and improve the condition of the post-16 estate, provide new places in post-16 education, and provide specialist equipment and facilities for T Levels.
The Department will spend whatever it takes to keep children safe. This includes paying for the emergency mitigation work needed to make buildings safe, including alternative classroom space where necessary, and supporting schools with remedial works which is our immediate focus. The Department is rightly focused on supporting schools and colleges. Where schools need additional help with revenue costs like transport to other locations, we are actively engaging with every school affected to put appropriate support in place. The Department will then also fund longer term refurbishment projects, or rebuilding projects where these are needed, to rectify the RAAC issue in the long term.
The Department will always put the safety and wellbeing of children and staff in schools and colleges at the heart of its policy decisions. The Government has taken more proactive action to identify and mitigate RAAC in education settings than the devolved administrations in the UK, or indeed, governments overseas.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his predecessor (a) received requests from and (b) made representations to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to discuss the (i) presence and (ii) potential cost implications of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) within NHS Hospitals and care homes...

As part of the usual fiscal processes, the Department submitted Spending Review bids to His Majesty’s Treasury in the autumn of 2020 and 2021, and each noted a requirement to address reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in the National Health Service estate.
The Department received £4.2 billion through the 2020 Spending Review settlement for NHS Operational Capital to maintain the NHS estate and address safety issues, of which £110 million was allocated to mitigate the risks posed by RAAC in the NHS estate.
At the 2021 Spending Review, the Department received £12.6 billion for NHS Operational Capital for the current spending review period. Of this, £698 million is allocated for RAAC mitigation and eradication in affected trusts up to 2024/25.
Additionally, in May we announced that the seven NHS hospitals most affected by RAAC will be replaced by 2030 through the New Hospital Programme, and that we remain committed to eradicating RAAC from the NHS estate by 2035.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much his Department spent on gym (a) facilities and (b) equipment in each of the last five financial years.
