Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the cost to the public purse was of the Race to the Top Grade 6/7 staff network in each year since its creation.

The Race To The Top (RTTT) grade 6/7 Network was a collaborative volunteer network which no longer exists. The RTTT does not hold a budget, but a department can choose to provide support where there is a business case to do so. We are not aware of any such financial support. We are not aware of any cost to the public purse of the Race To The Top Grade 6/7 Network since 2020. We do not hold any records prior to this date. The RTTT network was created in 2018.
