Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, how much the (a) Serious Fraud Office and (b) Crown Prosecution Service spent on (i) travel, (ii) furniture and fittings and (iii) any dilapidation claims arising from the quitting of premises in each year since 2008.
The Serious Fraud Office moved from its premises at Elm House on Elm Street and part of the ITN building on Gray's Inn Road at the end of 2012. It is now located on one site in Cockspur Street.
The information requested is set out in the table below. There were no relevant costs in 2008/09 or 2009/10.
| 2010/11 £‘000's | 2011/12 £‘000's | 2012/13 £‘000's | 2013/14 £‘000's |
Travel | - | - | 9 | 24 |
Furniture and fittings | - | - | 23 | - |
Dilapidations | 750 | 290 | - | - |
The Crown Prosecution Service spent the following amounts on furniture and fittings and dilapidations in each year since 2008.
| 2013/14 | 2012/13 | 2011/12 | 2010/11 | 2009/10 | 2008/09 |
| £‘000's | £‘000's | £‘000's | £‘000's | £‘000's | £‘000's |
Furniture and Fittings | 386 | 497 | 957 | 4,210 | 4,462 | 3,197 |
Dilapidations | 1,992 | 917 | 1,595 | 201 | 362 | 185 |
Expenditure incurred on dilapidations occurred as a result of quitting premises. Expenditure on furniture and fittings covers all such expenditure. To identify spend that relates solely and specifically to quitting premises would involve the checking of thousands of invoices and would incur a disproportionate cost.
From records held it is also not possible to identify spend on travel arising from quitting premises without incurring a disproportionate cost.
