(2) how much his Department has spent in total on external legal advice from QCs (a) between 7 May 2010 and 4 September 2012 and (b) since 4 September 2012.
My Department engages the Treasury Solicitors for the majority of its legal work. As was the case under previous Administrations, the Cabinet Office may engage other legal firms, for example when specialist advice is required. External legal advice is not separated from other legal costs in the Cabinet Office's accounting system.
