To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps he is taking to reduce water (a) usage and (b) bills in his Department; and if he will make a statement.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is committed to reducing water consumption. In 2013/14 the MoJ reduced its water consumption by 4% against a 2009/10 baseline. We are achieving this by installing efficiency devices on taps, timers in showers, motion sensor flush systems and running behavioural change campaigns.

Reducing both water consumption and the cost of water forms an important part of our strategy to deliver savings within the MoJ estate.
