Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will detail the losses and special payments valued at under £300,000 for his departmental group as defined by section A4.10.7 in HM Treasury's Managing Public Money for (a) 2018-19, (b) 2019-20 and (c) 2020-21.

The information requested could only be obtained at disproportionate cost, as the details of losses and special payments under £300,000 are not held in a single format centrally.

Losses and special payments are, however, published in summary form in the Parliamentary Accountability section of MoJ's Annual Report and Accounts, as well as in the Annual Report and Accounts of each executive agency and arm's length body. This includes losses and special payments valued above £300,000, which are recorded and reported according to category, such as cash losses, stores losses, compensation payments and ex gratia payments etc.
