	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2016 answer text <p>The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has committed to delivering 30-40% reductions in the Department’s operating expenditure which equates to around £350m by 2020. Savings of this magnitude can only be delivered by changing the Department’s overall business model so that it is simpler, cheaper and better for users of BIS services. This involves reducing the number of offices, our number of partner bodies, and our headcount as well as rationalising customer support, grant giving and digital service delivery. The proposed move of policy teams into a single centre and proposed closure of the Sheffield office forms part of a larger programme to change our business model.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 11/04/2016 16:38:46 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
