Treasury: Public Consultation and Reviews

Asked by Blake StephensonConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 25 November 2025UIN 91671

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an estimate of the cost to the public purse of a) consultations and b) reviews conducted by their Department since 4 July 2024.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

HM Treasury does not centrally hold this data in an easily accessible form as there are no expenditure categories that just cover consultations or reviews. Due to this any response could only be collated and verified for the purposes of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
