The Scotland Office has not purchased any original art in any of the last seven financial years; all artwork in our buildings is on loan from the government art collection or the National Galleries of Scotland. The Scotland Office does not separately record wine costs. Any such costs will be met from within the Office's events or hospitality budget. All expenditure incurred is in accordance with the principles of Managing Public Money and the Treasury handbook on Regularity and Propriety.<\/p>
The hospitality spend is shown below:<\/p>
