To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government pursuant to the answer my hon. Friend the Member for Welwyn Hatfield of 2 April 2009, Official Report, column 1505W, on the Homes and Communities Agency, on what categories of stationery items (a) the Homes and Communities Agency spent £99,000 and (b) the Tenant Services Authority spent £17,000. (273453)

The Homes and Communities Agency and the Tenant Services Authority’s accounting systems cannot disaggregate expenditure by various categories of stationery item.

This information could therefore be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
