皇冠体育app Rt Hon Gregory Barker

An error has been identified in the written answer given to the Hon Member for Newcastle upon Tyne Central, Official Report 12th February 2013, Col reference 614W . 皇冠体育app wording was incorrect as the calculation used for the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) was per card holder rather than per member of staff, with the result that the stated CNC averages were too high.

皇冠体育app full answer given was as follows:

皇冠体育app mean average spend using a Government Procurement Card per member of staff is as below:

2011 (拢) 2012(拢)
DECC 413 187
Coal Authority 930 1,310
Committee on Climate Change 1,405 1,054
Nuclear Decommissioning Authority 360 250
Civil Nuclear Constabulary 1,913 1,241

皇冠体育app correct answer using average number of staff for CNC rather than the average number of staff holding a Government Procurement Card is:

2011 (拢) 2012(拢)
DECC 413 187
Coal Authority 930 1,310
Committee on Climate Change 1,405 1,054
Nuclear Decommissioning Authority 360 250
Civil Nuclear Constabulary 84 53

Correct calculations:

2011 鈥� GPC spend - 拢87,984/1,049 (Average number of staff in 2011) = 拢84

2012 鈥� GPC spend - 拢65,799/1,244 (Average number of staff in 2012) = 拢53
