Government Departments: Consultants
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what metrics and data points HM Treasury collates on government spending on consultancy.
Answered by James Murray
Information on spending on consultancy each financial year is published and available through individual departments’ Annual Reports and Accounts, which departments input to OSCAR after publication. This is the most accurate source of data on consultancy spending, and is how we judge whether spending targets on consultancy have been met.
