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;

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2016 answer text <p>As my Hon Friend, the Minister for Prisons, Probation and Rehabilitation announced on 14 March, we take these allegations of the type raised by the Mail on Sunday on 13 March extremely seriously and we launched an immediate investigation into them, which was conducted by a senior civil servant in the Cabinet Office's Proprietary and Ethics team. This investigation found no evidence of the Department’s intellectual property or confidential information being compromised as a result of staff leaving the Department to join TDPi. Neither did the investigation find any evidence of improper culture or general lack of professionalism in relation to how NOMS staff interact with suppliers or contractors.</p><p>The MoJ has clear rules and governance in place around the standards of conduct for current and former civil servants. All permanent civil servants are covered by the Cabinet Office's Business Appointment Rules. For employees below the Senior Civil Service grade, the rules expect an ex-employee to submit an application form within a year of them leaving office if their circumstances match one or more of the points set out at Section 13 of the Business Appointment Rules. Following the investigation, we have briefed all Human Resources managers and all staff at Senior Civil Service in NOMS about the procedures. The process has been strengthened <ins class="ministerial">so </ins>that we now circulate the procedures to senior managers annually. As my Rt.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2016 answer text <p>As my Hon Friend, the Minister for Prisons, Probation and Rehabilitation announced on 14 March, we take these allegations of the type raised by the Mail on Sunday on 13 March extremely seriously and we launched an immediate investigation into them, which was conducted by a senior civil servant in the Cabinet Office's Proprietary and Ethics team. This investigation found no evidence of the Department’s intellectual property or confidential information being compromised as a result of staff leaving the Department to join TDPi. Neither did the investigation find any evidence of improper culture or general lack of professionalism in relation to how NOMS staff interact with suppliers or contractors.</p><p>The MoJ has clear rules and governance in place around the standards of conduct for current and former civil servants. All permanent civil servants are covered by the Cabinet Office's Business Appointment Rules. For employees below the Senior Civil Service grade, the rules expect an ex-employee to submit an application form within a year of them leaving office if their circumstances match one or more of the points set out at Section 13 of the Business Appointment Rules. Following the investigation, we have briefed all Human Resources managers and all staff at Senior Civil Service in NOMS about the procedures. The process has been strengthened <ins class="ministerial">so </ins>that we now circulate the procedures to senior managers annually. As my Rt. Hon Friend the Minister for Policing, Fire and Criminal Justice and Victims said in his answer of 6 June (HC38271), over the last six months, we have improved our commercial capability, more than doubling the senior commercial experts monitoring work with the private sector.</p><p>We have no plans to publish the letter to TDPi.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 20/06/2016 16:28:24 question first ministerially corrected 21/06/2016 13:18:56 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks previous answer version 4449 answering member printed Lord Faulks answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
