Answered by Seema Malhotra

Details of Government contracts are routinely published on the Contracts Finder and Find-a-Tender Service websites. Details of payments over £25,000 made by Government departments are routinely published via transparency releases on GOV.UK. The information the Hon Member is seeking can be found online, and the Hon Member may wish to carry out subsequent research. All relevant information is currently available, or will be made available in future, via those sources.
