This Government's tough spending controls have helped ensure substantial reductions in central Government spend on consultancy and contingent labour. Our 2013/14 spend was an astonishing 57% lower than spend in 2009/10 in the last year of the previous Government.

Since the 2010 General Election, all use of contractors, consultants and temporary interims in my department has to be approved centrally. This was not the case under previous administrations.
