Special Advisers: Electronic Purchasing Card Solution
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the Prime Minister plans to issue special advisers with Government Procurement Cards.
Answered by Georgia Gould
There are only very limited circumstances in which a Procurement Card would be required by Special Advisers and, in such circumstances, procurement methods are a matter for individual departments. As per the Code of Conduct for Special Advisers, special advisers cannot authorise expenditure of public funds.
