To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many cheques were issued by each government department, including their agencies and public bodies, in (1) 2015, (2) 2014, (3) 2013, and (4) 2012, and what was the value of those cheques.


This question was answered on 1st February 2016

The information requested is not held centrally.

Further details are set out in the publication, “Managing Public Money” which is available on Gov.uk.
