Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to Note 8. Purchase of Goods, Services and Other Expenditure on page 114 of the Whole of Government Accounts 2024-5, if she can provide a breakdown of expenditure in the financial years in (a) 2024/5 and (b) 2023/4 for (i) the category entitled Other in the Central government section by government department and (ii) the category entitled Other in the Public Corporations section by relevant body.
The ‘Other’ category in both the Central Government section and Public Corporation section refer to other departments that have not been individually identified in the table, as they are smaller and less significant contributors to Note 8.
The information for both 2024/25 and 2023/24 is as follows:
