We Spend it
The Treasury Solicitor's Department was established as an executive agency on 1 April 1996. In addition to being responsible for all financial activity within the Department, the Treasury Solicitor is responsible for financial matters at the Attorney General's Office (formerly Legal Secretariat to the Law Officers), Her Majesty's Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) and residual matters of the Government Property Lawyers following its closure on 30 September 1999. The accounts demonstrate the resources that have been consumed in delivering the Department's objectives. They have been prepared in accordance with the guidance set out in the Government Financial Reporting Manual
Transparency – Transactions over £25k The Government has set out the need for greater transparency across its operations to enable the public to hold public bodies and politicians to account. As part of its contribution to this commitment, Treasury Solicitor's Department is publishing data on all transactions over £25,000 for May to September 2010 and on a monthly basis thereafter. The data is for Treasury Solicitor’s Department, Attorney General’s Office and HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate.
Payments to the barristers listed in these data represent gross fee payments, which is not the same as income. From their gross fees all self employed barristers have to deduct the costs of running their practices. They also have to make their own provision for holiday, sickness and pension provision. Payments shown are inclusive of VAT, which barristers have to repay to the government.
