Asked by: Lord Redwood (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what levels of stock his Department holds of (a) stationery, (b) printer cartridges, (c) treasury tags and other fasteners and (d) other office consumables.

Answered by Mike Penning

We do not have this level of information on a site by site basis either by value or volume. We operate a LEAN supply chain with minimal stock holding.

a) Stationery - We are unable to confirm any stock held by sites, inclusive of paper as this information is not collected.

b) Printer cartridges - as part of the Managed Print Service we operate on the basis of 1 consumable per device as stock, or 3 for a colour device; we also hold some drums and other products depending on the model. There are approximately 7910 devices at present. This does not take into account devices which are not part of the Managed Print Service.

c) Treasury tags and other fasteners - we do not have this information available, this would require further analysis of Management Information for the desktop stationery contract and definition of other fasteners to identify the appropriate product lines.

d) Other office consumables - we do not have this information available, this would require further analysis of Management Information for the desktop stationery contract and definition of what constitutes other office consumables in order to obtain information for each individual product.
