<p>Spend by the Private Office on tea, coffee and water provided during official meetings
in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) totalled £2820.86 in 2014-15. No funds
were spent on wine or other alcoholic refreshments for meetings in the FCO. For comparison,
the spend in 2009-10 was £7,340.16.</p><p>It is not possible to give figures for spending
on beverages for other official hospitality in the UK or for overseas trips as they
are not recorded separately and to identify them would incur disproportionate cost.</p>
