Public Expenditure
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking to help ensure value for money in public spending.
Answered by Darren Jones
At Autumn Budget, we launched the Office for Value for Money to realise benefits from every pound of public spending. We set out plans for a Covid Corruption Commissioner to recover public funds and we have cancelled the migration partnership with Rwanda.
Through Phase 1 of the Spending Review, departments were set a 2% productivity, efficiency and savings target to ensure that every pound of taxpayer money is well spent.
The next phase of the Spending Review will also have a clear focus on delivering value for money, driving efficiency and rooting out government waste.
