Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what progress his Department has made on the implementation of the Government's Efficiency and Savings Review.

The Government’s Efficiency and Savings Review concluded at the Spring Budget. Through it, departments reprioritised to ensure the government can continue to protect the vital frontline services that matter most to the public despite the impacts of higher inflation.

In line with wider financial delegations set by HM Treasury, it is the responsibility of departments and their functions to implement any agreed efficiencies and savings, including those that were agreed at the Efficiency and Savings Review.
