The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of establishing a department for government efficiency.

Answered by Georgia Gould

There are currently no plans for a Department for Government Efficiency. The Budget set out plans for an Office for Value for Money which will work alongside other reforms such as the 2% Efficiency target aimed at improving savings, efficiency and productivity for all government departments by using technology more effectively and joining up services. Together, these reforms will deliver change for working people.
