Consumption of tea, coffee and biscuits (FOI)

Request

A

How much tea, coffee and biscuits have all states departments consumed since the last question on this topic was asked.

Surely with the states overspending in other areas they have cut their spending in this area.

B

How much has it cost the States of Jersey to change name to Government of Jersey.

Response

A

The level of consumption (“how much”) by departments of tea, coffee and biscuit is not recorded, therefore this information is not held by the Government of Jersey. The information has also not been asked for previously.

B

Information in relation to this question is available within a number of previous Freedom of Information requests, most recently the response available at the following link:
