The Department for International Development's (DFID) London Headquarters spent £2,074.72 on the maintenance of atrium plants from May 2010 till the contract was terminated in November 2010. DFID's East Kilbride Headquarters spent £565 on the maintenance of plants from May 2010 until the contract was terminated in June 2010. Since then, no expenditure has been incurred on cut flowers or pot plans in either of our two UK offices.
