Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunal Service spent on third-party suppliers in each financial year between 1 April 2008 and 31 March 2015.

HMCTS has published the value of ‘purchases of goods and services’ annually in its Annual Report and Accounts since it was formed on 1 April 2011.

We are therefore only able to provide comparable data for HMCTS since its formation (along with the restated comparative figures from 2010-11). HMCTS’ purchases of goods and services are shown in the table below:
