Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what net saving to the departmental expenditure limit her Department expects from the July 2026 machinery of government changes in each of the next three years, and how much of that saving was already factored in to pre-existing plans.

In line with usual practice, administrative costs to implement Machinery of Government changes will be met within existing departmental settlements, and should not affect the spending power of either the transferring or receiving department.
