Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to Cabinet Office Government Major Projects Portfolio Data for March 2024, published on 16 January, what factors have led to the budget variance of 264 per cent for the Vetting Transformation Programme.
This question was answered on 3rd February 2025
The figures for March 2024 contained in the Cabinet Office Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP) data predate the closure of the programme. The baseline figure of £5.5m relates to expenditure in financial year (FY) 23/24. Actual expenditure in FY 23/24 was £5.7m which represents an overspend of 3.6%. The £20m cited in the GMPP reflected the original funding for the FY.
