The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 18 November 2024 to Question 13746 on FCDO: Electronic Purchasing Card Solution, for what reason the Cabinet Office postponed the September 2024 transparency publication.

Answered by Catherine West

The data relating to Government Procurement Card (GPC) covering June 2022 - October 2024 was published on 28 November and is available here. The FCDO interpreted the communication regarding the postponement to also apply to GPC spend, as the FCDO's general approach is to link GPC publications with wider transparency returns.
