Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to his Department’s publication of government procurement card spending over £500 for November 2021, what the (a) nature and (b) purpose was of the services purchased from UK Crown Removals for £3,993 on 16 November 2021.

The above mentioned expenditure was for the taking down and rehanging of art (Government Art Collection) in the No.11 lobby, staircase & State room. The Treasury has a facilities team but on this occasion, specialist services were needed given that these were valuable government assets.
