The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many (a) strategic (b) outline and (c) final business cases were submitted to her Department in each of the last three years.

Answered by Darren Jones

The Treasury Approvals Process requires departments and their arm's length bodies to submit business cases to HM Treasury for scrutiny when spending meets specific criteria. These criteria are detailed in Treasury Approvals Process guidance. The Treasury typically receives hundreds of different business cases for approval each year.
