<p>This Government's tough spending controls have helped ensure substantial reductions
in central Government spend on consultancy and contingent labour. Our 2013/14 spend
was an astonishing 57% lower than spend in 2009/10 in the last year of the previous
Government.</p><p>Since the 2010 General Election, all use of contractors, consultants
and temporary interims in my department has to be approved centrally. This was not
the case under previous administrations.</p><p>Information on temporary staff and
contingent labour expenditure for 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 can
