Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much each Government department spent on tickets to the World Cup 2014; and for what purposes those tickets were acquired.

Expenditure incurred by other Government departments is not held by the Cabinet Office.

Spend incurred by my department on the items requested can only be obtained at disproportionate cost. However, my department has not spent money on World Cup Tickets.

This Government reduced the percentage of the Cabinet Office annual pay bill spent on in year rewards from 0.55%, prior to May 2010, to 0.25% now.
