The Government is committed to achieving efficiency savings through further rationalisation and reduction of property. Spending controls on government property, including the moratorium on lease breaks and expiries, will result in a reduction in both the cost and size of the estate.<\/p>
Central government departments and their arm\u2019s length bodies are responsible for managing their own workforce planning and portfolios. The location of posts in Departments is generally based on business and operational requirements and kept under regular review.<\/p>

The Government is committed to tackling consumer harm in the payday lending market wherever it occurs, including in the marketing of payday loans.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Payday loan adverts are subject to the Advertising Standards Authority\u2019s (ASA) strict content rules. The ASA enforces the rules set out in the UK Code of Broadcast Advertising. The Code requires that all adverts are socially responsible, and prohibits lenders from deliberately targeting vulnerable people.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The ASA has powers to ban adverts which do not meet its rules, and has a strong track record of doing so - since April 2013, the ASA has banned 25 payday loan adverts.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The FCA has also introduced robust new rules for payday loan adverts, including the introduction of mandatory risk warnings and a requirement to signpost to free debt advice. The FCA also has powers to ban misleading adverts which breach its rules.<\/p>

Death of a close relative, divorce, and moving out of a long-term family home are all life events that can have significant impact on health and wellbeing. The Department has no plans to commission research specifically on the potential implications for the Department\u2019s policies and resources of the comparative effect of these life events on mental and physical health.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department\u2019s Policy Research Programme (PRP) commissions high quality, research-based evidence relevant to the full policy remit of the Department. Details of commissioned projects are available on the website of the PRP Central Commissioning Facility at:<\/p>
