Mr. Bercow

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what the cost was of(a) the in-house canteen and (b) other catering services provided by the Department in 2002. [104256]

Mr. Leslie

The catering services within the buildings of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister are contracted on a non-cost basis, with the contractor recovering their costs through income from the services. The only cost to the Office in 2002 was to cover basic kitchen equipment to the value of £20,000.
