answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2014 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice keeps its estate under review to ensure it meets business need, is cost effective, provides value for money for the taxpayer and is more sustainable. Separate information on interior decoration, cafeteria and gym and leisure facility refurbishment is not collected centrally and can only be obtained at disproportionate costs.</p><p> </p><p>Since the start of the Spending Review (SR10) the size of the estate has been reduced by over 600 properties to nearly 1,500 properties. As a result, lower business as usual costs have been achieved. We have removed nearly 50% of the administrative estate from our portfolio over the last four years. We have reduced 180 properties to 98 in England and Wales including from 18 properties to 4 in London, saving over £34m a year.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 17/07/2014 10:49:24 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2014 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) does not hold away days. The MoJ does on occasion hold training events outside its main buildings. However, these events are neither recorded nor funded centrally as they would be organised by heads of directorates. Therefore to provide the information requested would incur disproportionate costs as we would be required to contact all directorates and organisations within MoJ and its Arms Length Bodies to produce an accurate figure.</p> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 17/07/2014 10:42:24 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara
