The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 8 October 2024 to Question 5742 on Civil Servants, whether his Department has a policy on recruitment to the civil service in advance of the spending review.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The Government is committed to delivering value for money for the taxpayer. In the Budget, the Chancellor announced a 2% productivity, efficiency, and savings target for all government departments. Decisions on the future size of the Civil Service will form a part of the comprehensive Spending Review.
The Government is committed to attracting, retaining and developing the very best talent to create a more efficient and effective civil service that is equipped to deliver the Government’s missions for the UK.
