    John Redwood – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Work and Pensions

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Redwood on 2014-04-10.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what levels of stock his Department holds of (a) stationery, (b) printer cartridges, (c) treasury tags and other fasteners and (d) other office consumables.

    Mike Penning

    We do not have this level of information on a site by site basis either by value or volume. We operate a LEAN supply chain with minimal stock holding.

    a) Stationery – We are unable to confirm any stock held by sites, inclusive of paper as this information is not collected.

    b) Printer cartridges – as part of the Managed Print Service we operate on the basis of 1 consumable per device as stock, or 3 for a colour device; we also hold some drums and other products depending on the model. There are approximately 7910 devices at present. This does not take into account devices which are not part of the Managed Print Service.

    c) Treasury tags and other fasteners – we do not have this information available, this would require further analysis of Management Information for the desktop stationery contract and definition of other fasteners to identify the appropriate product lines.

    d) Other office consumables – we do not have this information available, this would require further analysis of Management Information for the desktop stationery contract and definition of what constitutes other office consumables in order to obtain information for each individual product.

    John Redwood – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Redwood on 2014-04-10.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what levels of stock his Department holds of (a) stationery, (b) printer cartridges, (c) treasury tags and other fasteners and (d) other office consumables.

    Gregory Barker

    The Department of Energy and Climate Change does not keep a central record of stock levels for stationery, treasury tags or any other office consumables. This is because individual teams within the Department are responsible for their own particular needs (with weekly deliveries when required), negating the need for an overall ‘Departmental’ store.

    However, printer cartridges are procured and stored by the Departmental IT team. The stock is regularly checked with an aim to ensure there are always approximately 80 cartridges on site (of varying types and colours) to cover four Central London buildings/offices.

    John Redwood – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Redwood on 2014-04-08.

    To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the effect was on revenue from top rate income tax of the reduction of the top rate from 60 per cent to 40 per cent in 1988 in the (a) first year and (b) second year following that reduction.

    Mr David Gauke

    Observed changes in tax receipts following rate changes will reflect a combination of effects of the rate changes and underlying economic and distributional changes.

    One study that analyses these effects is set out in the Institute Fiscal Studies (IFS) Mirrlees Review, Dimensions of Tax Design. This studied the revenue impacts of tax changes during the 1970s and 1980s, including the rate changes in 1988. It is available at: http://www.ifs.org.uk/mirrleesreview/dimensions/ch2.pdf (see Chapter 2).

    This study was part of the evidence considered by HMRC in the report “The Exchequer effect of the 50 percent additional rate of income tax” published at Budget 2012. The behavioural response estimated in the HMRC report is consistent with a range of academic studies including the results from the IFS.

    The HMRC report is available at; http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/budget2012/excheq-income-tax-2042.pdf

    John Redwood – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Redwood on 2014-04-10.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what levels of stock his Department holds of (a) stationery, (b) printer cartridges, (c) treasury tags and other fasteners and (d) other office consumables.

    Dr Daniel Poulter

    The Department makes use of the Government Office Supplies contract to obtain supplies of stationery and associated items. In March 2014, the Department ordered 1,957 units of stationery which included 54 boxes of foldback clips, 41 boxes of bar tags and 15 boxes of paperclips. These items are ordered directly from Banner on an as required basis by individual directorates and no records of any small local stocks are maintained.

    The Department does not hold central stocks of the consumables associated with the provision of multi functional device services such as printers. These items are replenished automatically by the supplier when required.

    In a small number of cases, standalone printer cartridges are sourced through XMA Ltd under the Government Office Supplies Contract. In March 2014, the Department sourced 13 units through this contract. A small number of these items may be held locally but these are not recorded.
