Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many procurements undertaken by his Department have taken more than (a) three months, (b) six months, (c) one year and (d) two years.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office's central contract databases do not hold this information for all procurements. Accordingly, providing the number of procurements for each given time period could only be completed at disproportionate cost.
