DWP have transferred this PQ to Cabinet Office for a response. In reply to question 105820, Cabinet Office stated that GPU does not release the specific detail relating to individual applications for expenditure as these are commercially sensitive. It would be the applicant department’s decision as to whether to release this information.

GPU have contacted DWP asking whether they would grant permission to publish the information on DWP's behalf. DWP have stated that their policy is that they do not publish these figures as it might undermine or jeopardise the commercial process.
