Cost to the public of lecterns

The request was refused by Cabinet Office.

Dear Cabinet Office,

Following the resignation of former Prime Minister Liz Truss, she gave a final address to the nation from outside 10 Downing Street.

Once concluded, the lectern was removed and replaced by a different lectern which will be used by the new prime minister Rishi Sunak.

Please can you provide the following information:

1 - Since 2016, how many lecterns have been procured, which has been used (even if not exclusively) for the sitting prime minister to make speeches outside 10 Downing Street?
2 - for each lectern, the cost and manufacture of the lectern.

Yours faithfully,

Tim
