The smaller Executive Agencies (Office of the Public Guardian, Criminal Injuries Compensations Authority) have not been included. The figures show a drop of spending of £426,844.38 (92.98%) between 2008/09 and the 2013/14 figure, the last full year figure included.<\/p> <\/p> Since 2010, spend on hospitality has fallen significantly. Reasons for this include measures taken to ban lunches, teas and coffees for internal meetings. Any such refreshments for meetings with external stakeholders are only provided in exceptional circumstances and require sign off from a Director General. No alcohol is provided for staff from departmental funds and when hospitality is provided to external parties, such as a modest amount of wine with a meal, this requires Director General level approval. The department has also put in place a block on Government Procurement Cards, preventing payments to bars and restaurants.<\/p> MoJ core and Agency spend on Hospitality and related catering since April 2008:<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> <\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> MoJ HQ<\/ins><\/p><\/td> Nac Level 6<\/ins><\/p><\/td> FY08/09<\/ins><\/p><\/td> FY09/10<\/ins><\/p><\/td> FY10/11<\/ins><\/p><\/td> FY11/12<\/ins><\/p><\/td> FY12/13<\/ins><\/p><\/td> FY13/14<\/ins><\/p><\/td> FY14/15 to end Oct-14<\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> 224226-Entertainment<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 3,773.76<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 0.00<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 585.29<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 327.90<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 326.40<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 60.00<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 252.52<\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> 224227-Hospitality<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 18,572.77<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 18,755.64<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 6,584.20<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 3,095.97<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2,893.31<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 1,312.56<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 745.45<\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> 224228-External Lunches & Dinners<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 4,262.15<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 3,909.39<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 883.27<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 0.00<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 0.00<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 0.00<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 0.00<\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> 224229-Refreshments for Interdepartmental Meetings<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 96,946.33<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 28,699.71<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 3,096.00<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 247.68<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 0.00<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2,027.22<\/ins><\/p><\/td> -1,824.58<\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> Annual Total<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 123,555.01<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 51,364.74<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 11,148.76<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 3,671.55<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 3,219.71<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 3,399.78<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> -826.61<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> |
