It looks like Sarah Teather has probably got the scandal she was looking for on Ministerial Offices.
After an amusing response from Jack Straw, a slightly opaque one from the Ministry of Defense, and a straightforward one from Prescott, Teather has hit paydirt with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
Sarah Teather: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many times her ministerial office has been decorated in each of the last five years. [87653]
Mr. Lammy: In the last five years the ministerial office of the Secretary of State has been decorated twice—in 2002 and 2005. It will be redecorated again in the coming months as part of the refurbishment of the Department’s Cockspur Street headquarters building.
Three redecorations for Tessa’s office in five years? That makes Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen look almost restrained!
Just for the record, answers from the Department for Constitutional Affairs, Department for Education and Skills, Department for International Development, and the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. The rest are still outstanding.
