Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking to ensure that Arm's Length Bodies are value for money.

The Chancellor has launched Phase 2 of the Spending Review, covering 2026/27 to 2028/29. This will zero-base all spending, including Arm’s-Length Bodies, conducting a full line-by-line review of all public spending to assess whether it is a priority for this government and represents value for money for the taxpayer. The Spending Review will conclude on 11 June 2025.
