Spending on English Flags

The request was successful.

Dear Department for Culture, Media and Sport,

The Scottish Government recently disclosed their spending on Scottish flags over the years 2006-2011.

http://www.theyworkforyou.com/spwrans/?i...

Please provide me with the equivalent data on what the UK Government has spent on procurement of the English flag, the Cross of St George.

I would also be interested to know if you have details as to which agencies, organisations and public bodies the UK Government has distributed English flags.

Yours faithfully,

Gareth Young

Our Ref: 167634

Dear Mr Young,

Thank you for your message of 1 March requesting the following
information:

"The Scottish Government recently disclosed their spending on Scottish
flags over the years 2006-2011.

[1]http://www.theyworkforyou.com/spwrans/?i...

Please provide me with the equivalent data on what the UK Government has
spent on procurement of the English flag, the Cross of St George.

I would also be interested to know if you have details as to which

I have dealt with your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

After a thorough search of our records, I can confirm that we do not hold

purchased any St George's flags for itself or to distribute to others in
each of the last four years.

If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact
me.

Yours sincerely,
