	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2017 answer text <p>The <strong>Crown Prosecution Service</strong> (CPS) does not keep central records of the status of suppliers and is therefore unable to verify if any contracts have been awarded to (a) charities and (b) social enterprises in each year since 2010. To identify any such expenditure would involve checking large numbers of paper records and would incur disproportionate cost (Code of Practice on Access to Government Information, part 2, clause 9).</p><p>The<strong> Serious Fraud Office</strong> (SFO), <strong>HMCPSI</strong> and the <strong>Government Legal Department</strong> (GLD) have not awarded any contracts to charities or social enterprises since 2010.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 06/07/2017 14:23:43 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
