Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what progress she has made in (a) identifying and (b) reducing inefficiencies within her Department.

HM Treasury has, and continues to, take forward considerable work in identifying and actioning efficiencies in the departmental group.

Furthermore, HM Treasury is, as required by Spending Review 2025, doing detailed work to identify the efficiencies and savings required by the cross-government process.
