Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate his Department has made of its spending on managing procurement since it was established; and what estimate has been made of such spending in each year since 2010 of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.
The Department does not hold this information centrally and it can only be provided at disproportional cost. However, we can provide details of spending managing procurement in the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills via UK SBS as follows:
| 2013/14 | 2014/15 | 2015/16 | 2016/17 |
Managing procurement spend (£m) | 5.9 | 6.3 | 3.9 | 3.7 |
