Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 11 October 2024 to Question 5747 on Government Departments: Cost Effectiveness, if she will publish a table of the monetary value of the 2% reduction in administration budget of each public body that aggregates to £225 million.
As part of the measures the Chancellor took following the spending audit, departments were asked to reduce their admin budgets by 2%, saving £225 million across departments.
All savings and investments announced at the July statement have been factored into the departmental budgets for 24-25 which were set out on 30 October as part of the Spending Review. The split between programme and administration spending will be published as part of the Supplementary Estimates.
