The Treasury Solicitor represents most, but not all, government departments in litigation. For example, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs normally conducts its own litigation. According to records held by the Treasury Solicitor, the number of judicial reviews involving government departments in which it has acted in each of the last four years is as follows:</p><p>2010 – 8,566</p><p>2011 – 9,603</p><p>2012 – 10,274</p><p>2013 – 16,449</p><p>Information relating to how many of those reviews were upheld in whole or in part in each year is not held centrally and could not be created without incurring disproportionate cost.</p><p><del class="ministerial">The Administrative Court Office does not collate the information requested centrally and determining the number of reviews and how many such reviews were upheld in whole or in part would incur a disproportionate cost.</del></p><p><ins class="ministerial">The information requested in respect of the Administrative Court Office is published online at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/267408/additional-court-tables-2012.xls" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/267408/additional-court-tables-2012.xls</a> .

The smaller Executive Agencies (Office of the Public Guardian, Criminal Injuries Compensations Authority) have not been included. The figures show a drop of spending of £426,844.38 (92.98%) between 2008/09 and the 2013/14 figure, the last full year figure included.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2010, spend on hospitality has fallen significantly. Reasons for this include measures taken to ban lunches, teas and coffees for internal meetings. Any such refreshments for meetings with external stakeholders are only provided in exceptional circumstances and require sign off from a Director General. No alcohol is provided for staff from departmental funds and when hospitality is provided to external parties, such as a modest amount of wine with a meal, this requires Director General level approval. The department has also put in place a block on Government Procurement Cards, preventing payments to bars and restaurants.</p><p /> <p /><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="3"><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong>MoJ core and Agency spend on Hospitality and related catering since April 2008:</strong></ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong> </strong></ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong> </strong></ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong> </strong></ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong> </strong></ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong> </strong></ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong> </strong></ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">MoJ HQ</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">Nac Level 6</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">FY08/09</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">FY09/10</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">FY10/11</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">FY11/12</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">FY12/13</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">FY13/14</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">FY14/15 to end Oct-14</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">224226-Entertainment</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">3,773.76</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">0.00</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">585.29</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">327.90</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">326.40</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">60.00</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">252.52</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">224227-Hospitality</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">18,572.77</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">18,755.64</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">6,584.20</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">3,095.97</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2,893.31</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">1,312.56</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">745.45</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">224228-External Lunches &amp;
