The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills provides funding to Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) \u2013 the umbrella organisation and membership body for the Citizens Advice Bureaux network in Scotland. Total funding to CAS over the past five financial years is set out in the table below.<\/p>

<\/p>

Funding has increased substantially since 2011/12 to reflect the additional functions CAS has taken on as a result of the consumer landscape changes, including the joint delivery (with Citizens Advice England and Wales) of the Consumer Service helpline, education and advocacy on general consumer issues and as the advocate on behalf of consumers in the regulated energy and postal sectors.<\/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>

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>

Information on temporary staff and contingent labour expenditure for 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cabinet-office-annual-report-and-accounts-2010-to-2011<\/a>.<\/p>
