HM Treasury does not own, pay for or insure any art in the building it occupies at 1 Horse Guard\u2019s Road. Art that is displayed throughout the building is rented from the Government Art Collection at nil cost.<\/p>

Wine is not purchased independently but included within catering expenditure on hospitality. It is not possible to identify the cost of wine within amounts paid and accrued for hospitality catering.<\/p>

The Government Wine Cellar is managed by the FCO's Protocol Department and has been self-financing since 2011: costs are covered by sales of older, higher value stock.

    Information to answer this question is not held at departmental level. A check would have to be made of individual premises across the HMCTS and HMPPS estates to obtain the information requested and this would incur a disproportionate cost.<\/p>

    However, I can advise that the Ministry\u2019s policy on Gifts and Hospitality states:<\/p>

    <\/p>

    When providing in-house hospitality (e.g. conferences and away days) for MoJ people, no alcohol is to be paid for from departmental funds. When providing hospitality to external parties, then discretion can be exercised with Director-level approval, e.g. a modest amount of wine with a meal.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3921", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bracknell"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Dr Phillip Lee"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-02-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-02-01T14:41:59.773Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Ministry of Justice: Public Expenditure"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much his Department has spent on (a) art, (b) wine and (c) hospitality in each of the last seven financial years for which figures are available.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4418", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Justin Madders"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ellesmere Port and Neston"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Justin Madders"} ], "uin" : "124706"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/829977", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/829977/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

    The Department does not purchase art. Any works of art held by the Department are loaned from the Government Art Collection.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    The Department\u2019s expenses policy does not allow staff to claim for the cost of alcohol of any kind. Wine is very occasionally provided at events for external stakeholders but the cost of beverages is not recorded separately within the cost of catering and hospitality.<\/p>

    a) Since 2010 the Department procured a printed portrait of Her Majesty the Queen for display in the reception of Eland House at a cost of £256.74 including VAT. This was funded from savings made by consolidating seven sets of papers and periodicals for Ministers and special advisers, delivering over £15,000 a year in on-going revenue savings. Previously the Department did not possess a portrait of Her Majesty, despite it being the legal title holder of the Government's civil estate on behalf of the crown. No artworks have been purchased by the Department in the timescale indicated.<\/p>

    b) Records indicate the Department spent £708 with Majestic Wine in 2010-11. There is no record of any further spend on wine in the timescale indicated.<\/p>

    c) I refer the Hon Member to the answer to Question UIN 107801 on 24 October 2017. Spending for catering and hospitality is down to £9,822 in 2016-17 from £456,142 in 2009-10. This is a total reduction of £446,320 or 98 per cent over the years.<\/p>
