Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the Office for Value for Money was consulted on the recently advertised remuneration package for the National Armaments Director.

The OVfM has an immediate focus on supporting value for money decisions surrounding the spending review, including developing efficiency targets and plans, scrutinising investment proposals and conducting VfM studies. It will also recommend system reforms. It is not a requirement to consult the OVfM on salary cases.
