answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2022 answer text <p>Resource Departmental Expenditure Limits for the Cabinet Office are expected to fall from £1.0bn in 2021-22 to £0.5bn in 2024-25. The primary reasoning for this reduction is the inclusion of time-limited activities in the 2021-22 financial year, in particular, the G7 Summit, held in June 2021 and the COP26 Conference, held in December 2021. These activities combined added some £0.3bn to the department’s costs in 2021-22.</p><p>In addition, the 2021-22 financial year continues to include some costs related to the Government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Latest forecasts indicate that approximately £0.2bn will be incurred in 2021-22 primarily on public information campaigns and cross-government coordination.</p><p>Beyond this, the 2021 Spending Review settlement includes efficiencies and cost savings identified by the department which will further reduce Resource costs over the next three years.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 31/03/2022 13:05:09 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
