Written Answers
Government Departments: Cost Effectiveness Asked by: Lord Blunkett (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 6th May 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent on 9 April (HL6031), whether the Cabinet Office has issued guidance in respect of departmental headcount reduction to ensure that outsourced services match the cost reduction and efficiency gains imposed on in-house services. Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) There are numerous government arms-length bodies and agencies that spend public money, including to deliver services on behalf of government departments. These bodies have specified budgets and are accountable to the relevant government department. Financial planning for these bodies is therefore part of each department’s spending review process.

Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) There are numerous government arms-length bodies and agencies that spend public money, including to deliver services on behalf of government departments.

NHS: Staff Asked by: Lord Blunkett (Labour - Life peer) Friday 9th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what guidance they have issued to integrated care boards in England about (1) the projected reduction in headcount as a result of the abolition of NHS England, and (2) the balance between maintaining staff (a) at the 'place' level and, (b) in the integrated care board administration. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) NHS England has asked the integrated care boards (ICBs) to act primarily as strategic commissioners of health and care services and to reduce the duplication of responsibilities within their structure to achieve a 50% cost reduction in their running cost allowance. NHS England provided additional guidance to ICBs, National Health Service trusts, and NHS foundation trusts on 1 April 2025, where ICBs were tasked with developing plans by the end of May setting out how they will manage their resources to deliver across their priorities. The Government understands the importance of communities and places, which is why NHS England will be working closely with the ICBs to support the development of these plans, ensuring that their implementation reduces duplication and supports patient care. We continue to analyse and assess impacts of all kinds and will work collaboratively across both organisations to put in place plans to ensure the continuity of services and patient safety.
Skills England: Membership Asked by: Lord Blunkett (Labour - Life peer) Thursday 8th May 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government when they expect to announce the full membership of the board of Skills England. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Minister for Women and Equalities) The government announced the executive and non-executive leadership team of Skills England on 11 February. The chair of the board is Phil Smith, former chief executive officer (CEO) of Cisco UK and Ireland, and the vice chair is Sir David Bell, vice chancellor of the University of Sunderland. Sarah Maclean and Tessa Griffiths jointly serve as CEOs of Skills England, and Gemma Marsh is deputy CEO. The government has also been recruiting additional non-executive board members for Skills England. The department received a large number of high-calibre applicants, who have undergone a rigorous selection process to ensure a diverse Board with the necessary skills and experience to support and challenge Skills England in its vital work. The full membership of the Board will be announced in due course.
WPI Strategy Asked by: Lord Blunkett (Labour - Life peer) Friday 13th June 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask His Majesty's Government how many contracts, and at what financial value, they granted to WPI Strategy (1) between 1 June 2023 and 31 May 2024, and (2) between 1 June 2024 and 31 May 2025. Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The Cabinet Office has not awarded any contracts to WPI Strategy. Central Government departments are responsible for their own procurement and contract awards within their departments. Details of central government contracts above £12,000 and public sector contracts above £30,000 for procurements commenced before 24 February 2025 are published on Contracts Finder. Contracts procured under the Procurement Act 2023, which came into force on 24 February 2025, are published on the Central Digital Platform Find a Tender service. This includes the names of winning suppliers.
Skilled Workers: Migrant Workers Asked by: Lord Blunkett (Labour - Life peer) Monday 16th June 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government how much money was raised by the skills levy on employers recruiting from overseas in the financial year 2024–25; and what allocation was made from this money to (1) apprenticeships, (2) further education, and (3) other areas. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Minister for Women and Equalities) The department does not receive a hypothecated budget for the Immigration Skills Charge (ISC). Receipts from the ISC are paid to His Majesty’s Exchequer. The amount raised each year can be found in the Home Office's annual report and accounts. The government will increase the ISC for the first time since its introduction, raising it by 32% to bring the ISC rates in line with inflation and will use income generated from the increased ISC, as set out in the Immigration White Paper, to support upskilling of the domestic workforce, including in priority sectors, reducing reliance on overseas labour.
