Departmental Furniture
Mr. Bellingham: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much has been spent on furniture and fittings for his Department's new headquarters at 102 Petty France. [239471]
Maria Eagle: The Ministry has spent £2,744,622.78 on furniture and fittings at its new headquarters 102 Petty France.
The London accommodation programme has enabled 2,200 staff to move to the new headquarters building 102 Petty France, from four building across London. Not only is this helping to promote closer working and meet our sustainable development targets but, as we make better use of the headquarters building in future, 102 Petty France will save the Department £10 million a year.
Departmental ICT
Mr. Ancram: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much his Department spent on upgrading its IT in each of the last three financial years. [228424]
Maria Eagle: Since the Ministry of Justice was created in May 2007, details of significant expenditure incurred on upgrading IT are as follows:
The Criminal Justice System Exchange infrastructure—expenditure for 2007-08 was £4.2 million.
The NOMIS Programme to upgrade IT across the National Offender Management Service will provide Her Majesty’s Prison Service and National Probation Service staff with improved access to information to support end-to-end offender management processes. Expenditure for 2007-08 was £63.2 million, which included the main costs of developing and implementing new applications, infrastructure costs and supporting the live services.
In addition, the Ministry of Justice’s other main IT services are provided through contracts with external suppliers. These contracts include provision for regular maintenance and upgrade of the infrastructures and applications to keep systems up to date and to improve business efficiency. The costs of upgrades are included
in the overall contract expenditure and could not be identified separately without incurring disproportionate cost.
Paul Holmes: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many (a) memory sticks, (b) laptop computers, (c) desktop computers, (d) hard drives and (e) mobile telephones were (i) lost by and (ii) stolen from his Department in each year since its inception. [234098]
Mr. Straw: The Ministry of Justice was established in May 2007. Reported losses for the period May 2007 to March 2008 are as follows:
| Lost | Stolen | |
Four of the 11 laptops reported lost were subsequently recovered. Another one of those lost went missing in delivery and was never used. Records of mobile telephone losses are not held centrally and the aforementioned numbers reported have been taken from available records.
Departmental Internet
Mrs. May: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice for which Government websites his Department is responsible; how many visitors each received in the last period for which figures are available; and what the cost of maintaining each site was in that period. [235027]
Mr. Straw: The websites for which the Ministry of Justice is responsible are included in the following table.
Visitor statistics for the www.justice.gov.uk site between May 2007-March 2008 were 2,472,269. Visitor statistics for the other sites are not collected centrally and cannot be provided without incurring disproportionate costs.
Central contracts cover the provision for most of the Ministry’s websites and include the cost of maintenance, web hosting and support. The running costs for this period were approximately £2 million. This does not include staff costs as this information is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
