Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many contracts signed by his Department with suppliers of services or consultants include a clause providing that if the contract is abrogated by the Government, the provider or consultant will be compensated for lost income since 2010.

This question was answered on 18th November 2014
Authority to enter into contracts is delegated to directorates and departments within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London as well as the global network of overseas missions in over 170 countries. This information is not held centrally and to collate it would incur disproportionate cost.
