<p>The Prime Minister’s Office is an integral part of the Cabinet Office and is included
in this reply.</p><p> </p><p>Prior to 2014 there was no support for any tablet or
iPad devices on the Cabinet Office IT system nor were there any tablet or iPad items
available for staff to purchase.</p><p>Since 2014 the Cabinet Office have purchased
the following Ipads and Tablets:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Cost</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>£1,540</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>£6,620</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>£17,012</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>Since April 2015 the Cabinet Office have outsourced the printing capability
functions and the associated paper purchase costs to a new supplier on a new system.</p><p>Due
to the migration of Cabinet Office financial records onto a new shared services financial
system all paper purchases prior to 2015 were aggregated into an overall stationary
cost so are not readily available within a reasonable timeframe for an answer to the
question.</p><p>For the financial years 2015/16 and 2016/17 the following information
is available:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Cost</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>£45,610</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>£29,198</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
