We currently do not hold any data relating to 2011-12.

The latest figures for Resource and Capital expenditure will be available in the Main Estimate and Supplementary Budget Information tables. These are normally published five weeks after the Budget.

Departmental Rail Travel

Mr. Hurd: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what guidance his Department has issued to its staff on claims for travel in first class carriages on trains if there are no seats in standard class. [268444]

5 May 2009 : Column 15W

Mr. Sutcliffe: Our guidance states that for economic purposes staff are encouraged to use standard class rail travel wherever possible. There is no specific guidance about staff claiming for first class travel on trains if there are no seats available in standard class.

Digital Technology: Conferences

Mr. Hunt: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what the cost to his Department was of hosting the Digital Britain summit on 17 April 2009; and who attended the summit. [271837]

Andy Burnham [holding answer 29 April 2009]: The DCMS contribution to the cost of the Digital Britain summit was £20,000.

I am arranging for copies of the list of attendees to be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.

A total of £59,878 was also paid in bonuses for this period but it is not appropriate to provide the specific amounts paid to individuals.

Government Art Collection

Mr. Philip Hammond: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what the (a) total purchase price and (b) estimated current market value are of the works of art from the Government Art Collection displayed in the private offices of HM Treasury Ministers. [271200]

Barbara Follett: Works from the Government Art Collection in private offices of Treasury Ministers, and their purchase prices, are set out in the following table.

All prices include VAT where applicable.

It is not possible to provide a current value for each of these works. The monetary value of a work of art can be accurately assessed only at the time of its purchase, sale or by professional valuation. The collection is not actively traded and it would not be a justifiable expenditure of public funds to maintain up-to-date professional valuations of the collection.
