Office for Value for Money: Cost Effectiveness
Asked by: Alex Burghart (Conservative - Brentwood and Ongar) Wednesday 10th September 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the evidential basis is for the Office for Value for Money making almost £14 billion of annual efficiency gains by 2028-29 against planned day-to-day budgets for 2025-26. Answered by James Murray - Chief Secretary to the Treasury The OVfM has supported departments to develop bespoke technical efficiency targets, underpinned by credible delivery plans. In total, the government identified efficiencies of almost £14 billion a year by 2028-29.
The OVfM’s approach was guided by three principles, which together will deliver a sustainable outcome. First, it has placed greater focus on improving outcomes not just reducing costs. It has achieved this by clearly distinguishing between technical efficiencies (delivering more output for the same input, or the same output for less input) and stopping activities (reducing outputs). This is in line with the Government Efficiency Framework definition of a technical efficiency. Second, it has aimed to increase confidence in the deliverability of efficiencies, by working with departments to develop bespoke targets underpinned by credible plans. Third, it has supported greater transparency by publishing departments’ targets and plans, allowing external scrutiny and public accountability.
Further detail on the basis for departments’ targets and plans can be found in the Departmental Efficiency Delivery Plans document published at Spending Review 2025: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/departmental-efficiency-delivery-plans.

Senior Civil Servants: Training
Asked by: Alex Burghart (Conservative - Brentwood and Ongar) Wednesday 24th September 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 29 August 2025 to Question 62335 on Senior Civil Service: Training, if he will list the external venues that have been authorised for hire since 4 April 2025; and the cost for each hire. Answered by Chris Ward - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office) The Cabinet Office’s contract with Calder Conferences Limited to provide Venue Booking Services started in February 2023, under the previous administration.
The below table lists the venues and costs of venues booked by the Cabinet Office through Calder Conferences since 4 July 2024. Of the 223 bookings listed, 198 were commissioned under previous guidance regarding the booking of external venues, and 25 were commissioned following updated guidance issued by this government on 4 April 2025.
To provide further background information on each booking would incur disproportionate costs, but these have included events such as Civil Service Live 2025 and hearings for the Infected Blood Inquiry. These two events account for just over £587,000 of the costs of external venue hires via Calder since 4 April 2025.
This government’s updated guidance on restrictions to booking external venues, issued on 4 April 2025, makes clear that external venues for away days are only to be used when space in government buildings or zero cost venues is unavailable. When it is absolutely necessary to procure an external venue, departments must do so through established procurement routes. Any expenditure related to away days must demonstrate value for money and adhere to reasonable cost expectations.
Bookings commissioned between 04 July 2024 and 4 April 2025
Bookings commissioned after 4 April 2025
