	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2024 answer text <p>This was an unfortunate administrative error, however the note to the accounts on volumes of inventory is essentially narrative and is not audited. The financial values of the stock that we hold are audited and the Department is confident in their accuracy in each set of accounts. Reporting responsibility for the quantities of inventory within the Department and included within the notes to the accounts changed in financial year 2017-18, therefore data prior to this time is unavailable. We have no reason to believe that the data was inaccurate prior to this point but are unable to confirm this.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 30/04/2024 12:49:41 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge
