George Osborne: Chancellor splashes out £30,000 on No.11 makeover It said that £32,651 was spent on "maintenance works" at the state rooms, offices and the No 10 flat. Work carried out specifically on Mr Osborne's flat in 10 Downing Street included "electrical works and plumbing, structural improvements, general maintenance and restoration and flooring." The response said that "no public money" since May 2010 was spent on "bathroom appliances, furniture, fixture or fittings." Public money was also not spent on "wall furnishings or kitchen appliances, furniture, furnishings or accessories." The Treasury is expected to come under pressure to release further information about the scale of the work at the flat in 10 Downing Street. Last night, the Labour MP Tom Watson said: "The Government is asking hundreds of thousands of council tenants to forego work on their homes because of the cuts. George Osborne should take a leadership position and he clearly has not. He has not come clean by giving The Daily Telegraph the full facts of the costs of the Downing Street refurbishment. A Treasury spokesman said last night: "No. 11 Downing Street is a Grade I-listed building and as such the Government is obliged to ensure that it is maintained to an appropriate standard. By long-standing arrangement, the Treasury pays a contribution to the Cabinet Office for the space used by HM Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer within the Downing Street estate, including maintenance of the No 11 state rooms and offices, and the No 10 flat. Here is the FOI submitted by The Daily Telegraph Dear Sir/Madam, This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. Please provide me with details of how much money has been spent on refurbishing the flat in 10 Downing St currently, occupied by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Please also provide me with a breakdown of how these costs are arrived at, together with an itemised list of what the money was spent on. Please also supply me with any other information that is held by you relating to the refurbishment, such as notes of instruction and discussion about the work that need to be carried out.
