To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 12 December 2024 to Question 18217 on Government departments: electronic purchasing card solutions, what information his Department holds on the reasons for which some Departments publish transactions below £500.

The policy setting out the requirement to publish Government Procurement Card transactions over £500 remains in place. This is available to all government departments on gov.uk at the following link: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5e8b402686650c18ce2cb541/Procurement_Cards_-_Pan_Government_Policy_V4_06042020.pdf.
There is nothing to prevent government departments from publishing transactions below £500. Where they do so, the Cabinet Office does not hold information relating to their reasons for doing so.
