Department for Business and Trade: Carbon Emissions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what the value was of his Department's activities which (a) lapsed and (b)were cancelled as a result of the 2025 zero-based budget review.
Answered by Justin Madders
DBT conducted a comprehensive zero-based review as part of SR25 to identify a range of savings and efficiencies, including agreeing bespoke technical efficiency targets and delivery plans for day-today budgets with the Office for Value or Money. Through this work, DBT has committed to meeting the 5% savings and efficiencies target.
The department is now setting multi-year budgets, through which final decisions will be made on any activities which will be cancelled, or allowed to lapse.
