Lilian Greenwood – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lilian Greenwood on 2016-05-03.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what his Department’s expenditure was on external room or venue hire in each year from 2010-11 to 2015-16; and what the proportion of such expenditure was on such hire in London in each of those years.
Mr Robert Goodwill
The following table shows the expenditure on external room and venue hire in the financial years listed:
|
Financial year |
|
|
2010-11 |
£859,964 |
|
2011-12 |
£455,641 |
|
2012-13 |
£663,479 |
|
2013-14 |
£741,825 |
|
2014-15 |
£797,156 |
|
2015-16 |
£940,775 |
Over the above 6 years the average annual expenditure was £743,140. The spend in 2009-10 was £819,612.
The response covers the core department and three of its four executive agencies (Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency). The Vehicle Certification Agency’s finance system does not separately identify expenditure on room and venue hire.
It is not possible to identify the proportion of this expenditure incurred in London.
