The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what progress she has made in (a) identifying and (b) reducing inefficiencies within her Department.

Answered by Darren Jones

HM Treasury has, and continues to, take forward considerable work in identifying and actioning efficiencies in the departmental group. This includes adopting the Government Efficiency Framework, regularly reviewing productivity and efficiency measures to remove inefficiencies on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, HM Treasury is, as required by Spending Review 2025, doing detailed work to identify the efficiencies and savings required by the cross-government process.
