Request
Please detail the number of laptops, tablets and phones purchased by your department, as well as the average cost per device.
Please provide this information by year (April to March, including this year) for the past three years.
Response
Firstly, please understand that we are not a Government Department as your request suggests. The House of Commons and the House of Lords, who together make up Parliament, are completely separate organisations. Our IT equipment is supplied and maintained by the Parliamentary Digital Service, which is a joint, bicameral team. The information below relates to devices purchased for the House of Commons only. If you wish to request information about devices purchased for the House of Lords, you should contact them directly at FOILORDS@parliament.uk.
Some information is held by the House of Commons.
We hold the total number of laptops, tablets and phones purchased for MPs, their staff and House staff in the time frames specified (csv, 373B).
We do not hold an average cost for our devices, nor could we reliably calculate this information from the costs we do hold.
