Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the Answers of 1 November 2021 and 16 November 2020 to Questions 61053 and 72346, for what reason the figures for the amount his Department has spent on Stonewall is different to the FOI Answer from his Department, reference 210303018.
Due to an administrative error, the incorrect answer was provided in response to this question. At the time of responding to that question, a typing error occurred, and one cost excluded VAT.

2016-17 Financial Year (HR Services)
£354.00: MOJ conference attendance
