The costs for 2017-18 were as follows: <table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td> </td><td>2017-18 £000s</td></tr><tr><td>1. Catering and Retail Services</td><td> </td><td>1,346</td></tr><tr><td>2. Department of Facilities</td><td> </td><td>1,863</td></tr><tr><td>3. Finance Department</td><td> </td><td>1,441</td></tr><tr><td>4. Human Resources Office</td><td> </td><td>1,691</td></tr><tr><td>5. Parliamentary Digital Service</td><td> </td><td>14,536</td></tr><tr><td>6. Library</td><td> </td><td>2,384</td></tr><tr><td>7. Clerks and Procedural Services</td><td> </td><td>15,383</td></tr></tbody></table> The total for Clerks and Procedural Services includes the costs of the Clerk of the Parliaments Office, Black Rod’s Office, Committee Office, Hansard, Journal Office, Communications Office, Legislation Office, and the Lord Speaker’s Office.

In 2005-06 some offices and departments listed above did not exist, and since 2005-06 there have also been other changes to the roles and functions of offices and departments across the Administration; this makes providing comparison figures more difficult. The costs for 2005-06 were as follows: <table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td>2005-06 £000s</td></tr><tr><td>1. Catering and Retail Services (was the Refreshment Department)</td><td>1,729</td></tr><tr><td>2. Department of Facilities (did not exist – costs of the Attendants and Housekeepers sections)</td><td>1,013</td></tr><tr><td>3. Finance Department</td><td>1,272</td></tr><tr><td>4. Human Resources Office</td><td>942</td></tr><tr><td>5. Parliamentary Digital Service (did not exist – costs of Computer Office, ICT and telecommunications sections)</td><td>2,860</td></tr><tr><td>6. Library</td><td>2,926</td></tr><tr><td>7. Clerks and Procedural Services</td><td>11,816</td></tr></tbody></table> The total for Clerks and Procedural Services includes the costs of the Clerk of the Parliaments Office, Black Rod’s Office, Doorkeepers, Committee Office, Hansard, Journal and Information Office, Legislation Office, and the Printed Paper Office.

answer text

There is no central government travel, subsistence and expenses (T,S&E) policy, and as such, rates and allowances are delegated for individual departments to decide upon. In setting their rates departments must be adherent with Section 8 of the Civil Service Management Code (CSMC), Jon Thompson's 2010 review of Civil Service expense policies and The Efficiency and Reform Group Business Travel Policy Principles launched on 20 July 2011.As there is no cross-government T,S&E policy, there is no centrally held information on the accommodation allowance paid by departments to non-London based civil servants when they are required to stay in London as part of their employment. This information will be held in individual departments.
