HC Deb 14 February 2003 vol 400 c6W
Mr. Yeo

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what(a) products, (b) goods and (c) services were (i) bought and (ii) sold online by her Department in each of the last five years. [97463]

Clare Short

DFID purchases a small range of low value goods online, mainly IT peripherals, stationery, books and office equipment. Total expenditure records are not held centrally and could be produced only at disproportionate cost. DFID does not currently purchase services on-line.

DFID has started using the Government Procurement Card, which will increase our electronic purchasing. We do not sell products, goods, or services.
