Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether there have been any power cuts on their Department's property in each of the last three years.

During the last three years, the FCDO has had no unplanned power cuts at its London sites, or at Abercrombie House; and three power cuts at our Hanslope Park site. The FCDO has resilient back up power at each site, designed to alleviate any external supply failure, and subject to regular and rigorous maintenance and testing.
