Furniture

Mrs. Moon
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how much was spent by his Department on furniture made by British firms in each year since 2000.

David Cairns
The Scotland Office has generally, but not exclusively, obtained office furniture through central procurement contracts set up by the Scottish Executive. The Office does not separately identify expenditure on furniture, or the source of supply; however, the following table details the amount spent on ‘furniture and fittings’ in each year since 2000, from all sources.
