Civil Service: Trade Union Officials
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if the Office for Value for Money will investigate the value for money of (a) expenditure relating to in the Civil Service and (b) trade union facility time in the Civil Service.
Answered by Darren Jones
The Office for Value for Money (OVfM) has two primary roles. First, to provide targeted interventions, working with Treasury and departments, so that value for money governs every decision government makes. Second, to recommend system reforms to ensure any changes support the government’s missions and deliver value for money.
The OVfM is focussed on tackling wider systemic challenges that impact Government operations. Internal teams across departments already consider the value for money on respective policies and external interactions, using existing tools to consider their impact.
