The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on what day and at what time the final draft for publication of her Department's document entitled Fixing the Foundations: Public spending audit 2024-25, CP 1133, was sent to HH Associates Ltd for printing.

Answered by Darren Jones

As the Chancellor of the Exchequer set out in her statement to Parliament on 29th July 2024, she asked Treasury officials, on her first day in office, to undertake a rapid audit of public spending. As is the usual process with Treasury documents, officials worked closely with typesetters throughout to develop and print the document. The conclusions of the public spending audit were presented to the House of Commons on 29th July 2024.
