House of Lords written question – answered at on 20 December 2011.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what was the (1) date of purchase, (2) amount, (3) supplier and (4) level 3 or enhanced transaction entry of each transaction undertaken by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs using the Government Procurement Card in (a) 2006-07, (b) 2007-08, (c) 2008-09, (d) 2009-10, and (e) 2010-11.
This Government are committed to transparency about its spending through government procurement cards.
In October we began to publish detailed information on transactions over £500 for 2011-12 for the core department on our website and will continue to do so on a monthly basis. The information can be found at: http://data.gov.uk/dataset/defra-qpc-spend-over-500-pounds
Information on transactions over £500 in core Defra for 2010/11 will be published by the end of March 2012.
The work required to obtain, contextualise and report data from the previous three years, or for transactions under £500, could only be done at disproportionate cost.
