Government records published today reveal bills for the refurbishment of Downing Street totalling over �680,000 of public money.

Amongst the data released, there are nine bills for refurbishment on Downing Street including �30,000 spent by the Cameron's on renovating the No 11 flat. The modern style kitchen was first seen by the public in a picture issued earlier this week during the Obama UK state visit in which Samantha Cameron and Michele Obama sit on a sofa in the No 11 flat.

You can look up spending items over �25,000 for any government department and see what the coalition government have bought since taking power.

The records on the Number 10 website show spending up to January 2011, but actually departments have spending data for more recent months too.

The datablog covered the spending over �25,000 when it was first published in November 2010.
