Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps the Government is taking to (a) promote public sector reform and (b) increase public sector productivity.

The Chancellor has launched a multi-year Spending Review to conclude in Spring 2025 that will establish a new approach to public service reform to drive greater productivity in the public sector.

The Government will use the Spending Review to change the way public services are delivered by embedding a mission-led approach, driving forward public service reform and making the best use of technology to better deliver services. The Spending Review will set spending plans for a minimum of three years of the five-year forecast period.
