Asked by:
Feryal Clark (Labour)

Data on expenditure categories are published within the Home Office Annual Report and Accounts (ARA). However, this data is only published once the accounts are closed and the figures have been audited by the National Audit Office (NAO).

Information on the above expenditure categories for the current financial year will be collated and made available in the 2020/21 Home office Statement of Accounts.

Subsequently, you may also find it useful to refer to the ARA for FY1920 to obtain the data for the total spent on the aforementioned categories.

However, please note that the data we collect and report in the ARA is not captured under the specific headings set out in the question above.
