John Redwood – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Redwood on 2014-04-10.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what levels of stock his Department holds of (a) stationery, (b) printer cartridges, (c) treasury tags and other fasteners and (d) other office consumables.

Andrea Leadsom

In line with Government policy and to benefit from public sector buying power, HM Treasury has centralised common commodity procurements, such as stationery, through contracts awarded and managed by the Crown Commercial Service.

The stock information requested is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
