Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 21 September to Question 47402, for what reason it would cost more than £800 to provide an answer as to the purpose of the payments made by his Department to the official Norwich City Football Club online store of (a) £1,318 on 21 October 2021, and (b) £523.50 on 21 March 2022.

This payment was one of 46 questions submitted by the MP, which referenced more than 250 transactions in total. The resource required to collate this information would be above the disproportionate cost threshold. This spend relates to purchases of one of twelve different English Premier League kits purchased to support youth engagement projects overseas. The purchases were made following set guidelines to ensure they were appropriate and achieved value for money.
