Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much her Department paid to Sodexo to provide the Aspen card service in each year for which data is available; and what estimate her Department has made of the future costs of that service.

The Home Office does not publish data on the costs of the Sodexo contract as it is considered commercially sensitive.

As we are in the process of retendering for the payment card we are unable to provide any information on future costs.
