Written Question
Prime Minister: Accountancy
Wednesday 14th December 2022

Asked by: Lord Cryer (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what secondments (a) PricewaterhouseCoopers, (b) Deloitte & Touche, (c) Ernst & Young and (d) KPMG has made to the Department including predecessor Departments since 2010; for what (i) periods and (ii) tasks the secondments were made; whether secondments of staff from the Department have been made to those firms; and for what (A) periods and (B) tasks.

Answered by Jeremy Quin

The Cabinet Office does not hold a centralised list of secondments for the dates in question, as historically this data has been held locally. We have, as of January 2022, begun to keep a record of secondments arranged centrally for those below SCS, however this may not include every secondment as there are still circumstances whereby these can be arranged at a local level. Of the data held, no secondments to or from any of the companies asked about have been recorded.


Written Question
Cabinet Office: Accountancy
Thursday 8th December 2022

Asked by: Lord Cryer (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the (a) nature and (b) value was of all contracts, consultancies or other services placed with the accountancy firms (i) Deloitte & Touche, (ii) Ernst & Young, (iii) KPMG and (iv) PricewaterhouseCoopers in each year since 2010-11 by the Department, including predecessor Departments and its agencies.

Answered by Alex Burghart - Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster

Details of Government contracts awarded from 2011 above £10,000 are published on Contracts Finder.

Cabinet Office does not hold the historic data centrally as it would involve a disproportionate amount of costs and time to collate the information. A new contract database, Atamis, has been purchased and is now live. This is used to capture all information on current contracts which started on or after January 2022 and all future contracts.
