(asked on 27th April 2023) - View Source
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, (a) when, (b) for what purpose and (c) at what cost to the public purse the Minister without Portfolio was provided with a ministerial red box.
This question was answered on 3rd May 2023
The Minister without Portfolio has not been provided with a ministerial red box in respect of his current ministerial role. There is therefore no cost to the public purse.
More widely however, purchasing and repairing red boxes and folders is a routine Government practice under successive administrations, including the last Labour Government.
