Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the number and value was of Instant Rewards awarded to civil servants in the last year.

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.
