The legislation was introduced to protect national heritage assets. Where there has been a failure to meet the undertakings, HM Revenue and Customs\u2019 (HMRC\u2019s) approach is to work with owners in order to put things right. It has not in the last 10 years been necessary for HMRC to remove an exemption.<\/p>

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has participated in carbon offsetting resulting from air travel. However, it has not kept central records of expenditure in respect of carbon offsetting in the last three years and to provide this information would incur a disproportionate cost.<\/p>

The Government Legal Department has spent £171.28 on carbon offsetting over the last 3 financial years. In 2012-13, £42.13 was paid South Pole Holding AG and in 2013-14 £129.15 was paid to Carbon Footprint Ltd. The companies paid were those who won the e-auctions to provide Certified Emissions Reductions (CERs) held by Crown Commercial Services in each of the years identified.<\/p>

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has spent £153 towards carbon offsetting over the last three years through Crown Commercial Services carbon offsetting arrangements. In 2013, £79 was paid for Fujian Wind power for 116 CERS (Certified Emission Reductions) and £74 to EDF for 104 CERS in January 2014.<\/p>

The Attorney General\u2019s Office and HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate have not incurred any expenditure on carbon offsetting over the past three years.<\/p>
