Written Question
Television
Thursday 4th September 2014

Asked by: Ben Bradshaw (Labour - Exeter)

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, how much the Law Officers' Departments spent on the purchase of televisions in (a) 2013 and (b) 2014 to date.

Answered by Robert Buckland

The Serious Fraud Office spent £450 on televisions in 2013-14, and £1,272 in 2014-15 as at the 31st August.

The Crown Prosecution Service does not collect this information centrally. To obtain it would require local area managers to review all paper procurement records which would incur a disproportionate cost.

The remaining Law Officers’ Departments have not incurred any such expenditure during the past two years.

Speech in Commons Chamber - Mon 23 May 2011
Injunctions

"Following on from that question, does the Attorney-General agree that members of the Press Complaints Commission are the last people who should be policing this area—an idea that has apparently been floated by the Prime Minister—given their feeble record and complete failure over the phone-hacking scandal?..."
