Government Departments: Energy

Asked by Richard FullerConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 18 March 2025UIN 36622

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which government departments have undergone efficiency assessments by the Office for Value for Money.

Answered by Darren Jones

The Office for Value for Money is working with departments to root out waste and inefficiency. It will do this by working with departments to agree stretching and realistic technical efficiency targets, underpinned by robust delivery plans.

All departments and their arm's-length bodies are in scope for this piece of work.

The Office will target areas where it can have the most impact, rather than duplicating the work of others. It is the role of the Crown Commercial Service to review framework agreements.
