Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much her Department spent on (a) IT and communications equipment, (b) chairs, desks and other furniture and (c) electronic fans, heaters and other equipment used for temperature control, to enable staff in her core Department to work from home during the financial years (i) 2020-21, (ii) 2021-22 and (iii) 2022-23.

The Home Office does not record information in this way. In order to respond to your request for information we would need to investigate and classify each spend item in scope as to whether it was purchased for homeworking or not.

This would require a manual review of all relevant records to determine whether the expenditure fell in scope of your question and can only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
