The Department does not hold copies of resignation letters from the former chairs of the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust.<\/p>

The hon. Member may wish to approach the NHS Trust Development Authority (TDA), which will hold the relevant information. However, the NHS TDA has advised that, as a personal letter, permission would be required before placing this in the public domain in order to meet obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998.<\/p>

The Treasury Solicitor\u2019s Department (TSol) does not hold a register of duplicate payments. Appropriate controls are in place to prevent duplicate payments and if any are identified, action is taken to recover overpaid monies. As at 18 July 2014, there are no known unrecovered duplicate payments.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Identification of the value of duplicate payments made by TSol, the Attorney General\u2019s Office and HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate since 2010 would require detailed analysis of accounting and other records which would incur disproportionate cost. However, in the 3 months since April 2014, TSol have identified and recovered duplicate payments with a total value of £13,068 representing 0.05% of the value of payments made during this period.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Available records show that, since April 2010, the Serious Fraud Office has identified and recovered £46,000 in duplicate supplier payments. No other duplicate payments have been identified.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The following table shows the value of duplicate payments identified by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) since 2009/10 and the proportion of such payments recovered in each of the last two financial years is presented below.<\/p>

Core Defra has controls in place to prevent duplicate payments being made to suppliers. These include careful checking of each invoice against evidence of delivery and against any previous payments in respect of the relevant purchase order. External and internal audit reviews of key financial controls have found no evidence of weakness that would lead to duplicate payments. There are also regular reviews of expenditure against budgets which would quickly bring to light unexpected payments and would lead to immediate action for recovery.<\/p>

<\/p>

Core Defra is carrying out a Spend Recovery Audit, as part of a Cabinet Office initiative on fraud and error which we expect to conclude by Autumn 2014.<\/p>

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) does not hold all of the required data centrally and could not answer this question in full without incurring disproportionate costs. However, we recently investigated duplicate supplier payments for the eight month period from April to November 2013 and identified just one duplicate invoice, with a value of £2,501. Our financial control system prevented any payment being made.

The Department checks for duplicate supplier payments as part of the business as usual processes within the finance team. As part of the internal process checks the Department has identified the value of duplicate supplier payments since 2010 as £1,287,260.31.<\/p>

<\/p>

The proportion of such payments the Department has recovered following these internal checks in each of the last two financial years is as follows:<\/p>

<\/p>

(i) Payments for 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013 - £325,456.94 - of which 100% has been recovered based on the internal processes.<\/p>

(ii) Payments for 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014 \u2013 £282,198.56 - of which 100% has been recovered based on the internal processes.<\/p>

<\/p>

For completeness, in the financial year 2010-11 the value of such payments was £510,599.10 of which 99.7% was recovered, and in financial year 2011-12 the value of such payments was £169,005.71 of which 98.6% was recovered.<\/p>

<\/p>

Further investigations are taking place into duplicate payments made as part of a Spend Recovery Audit that the Department has commissioned externally and we will seek to recover any further duplicates identified as part of this exercise.<\/p>
