Home Office written question – answered am ar 6 Mawrth 2024.
Nick Thomas-Symonds
Shadow Minister without Portfolio (Cabinet Office)
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much funding his Department (a) allocated for and (b) spent on magazine subscriptions in each of the last three financial years.
Chris Philp
The Minister of State, Home Department
Determining the amount allocated for and spent by the Home Office on magazine subscriptions is not readily available from our finance system.
The Home Office does not have expenditure categories in our financial system that would allow us to quickly identify spending at this level of granularity.
To try to identify the information under scope would require a manual review of multiple expenditures categories and transactions, over multiple business areas.
This could only be done at disproportionate cost.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
