To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, whether it is planned that the BIS 2020 programme will make greater savings than the savings required under the Spending Review 2015 set by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

The Department has committed to reduce total operating spending by £350m a year by 2020, which is consistent with Spending Review 2015 outcomes. The BIS2020 programme aims to achieve the agreed savings by focusing on maximising efficiency so as to prioritise front line activity.
