Department for Transport: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much of the efficiency savings attributed to executive agency reform will be permanent.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Department for Transport efficiencies quoted in the Departmental Efficiency Plan are in line with the Government Efficiency Framework. In particular, the Government Efficiency Framework states that efficiencies “… should be sustainable (recurring)” and “exist in the year they are realised and remain in all subsequent years at equal or greater value.”
