The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what estimate he has made of the cost of developing and publishing departmental Insourcing Strategies.

Answered by Chris Ward

This Labour Government is committed to delivering the biggest wave of insourcing of public services in a generation, ending outsourcing by default.

Contracting authorities will develop their insourcing strategies from 2027/28. We expect this to form part of an organisation's existing strategy setting process.
