Department for Work and Pensions: Public Expenditure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 17 June 2025 to Question 59412 on Government Departments: Reviews, if her Department will publish the line by line review of its spending conducted for the Spending Review 2025.
Answered by Andrew Western
DWP is committed to meeting the 5% savings and efficiency target, with Spending Review funding allocations agreed on this basis.
These funding allocations – informed by the findings of the Zero Based Review – are the first steps in a wider plan to finalise budgets for different projects and programmes, with any necessary savings decided through that process. The savings taken forward will be subject to the normal rigorous business planning processes, and in-year financial management.
