Pamela Nash – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Cabinet Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Pamela Nash on 2015-01-14.

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many individuals or small and medium-sized enterprises contracting with, or providing consultancy services to, Government departments have been paid daily fees greater than £100 in the last five years.

Mr Francis Maude

The information is not held centrally.

As a result of this Government’s commercial reforms, by limiting expenditure on marketing and advertising, consultants and temporary agency staff, we have saved the taxpayer £870m in 2010-11; £1bn in 2011-12; £1.9bn in 2012-13; and £2bn in 2013-14 – all against a 2009-10 baseline.
