uin	HL4304
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2024 answer text <p>The Prime Minister's Office is an integral part of the Cabinet Office for both management and staffing purposes and is not a standalone department.</p><p>The total of c15,000 includes the UK Statistics Authority which is a non-ministerial department and is a government department in its own right, accountable to parliament through its sponsoring ministers and therefore should not be included in the total Cabinet Office FTE.</p><p>Since 2011 the role and remit of the Cabinet Office has expanded significantly. At that point in time, the Department’s role was largely to support the Prime Minister and the operation of Government through the Prime Minister’s Office, Ministers’ Private Offices, Cabinet Secretariats and the Efficiency and Reform Group.</p><p>By 2021, the role of the Cabinet Office in managing the Civil Service had grown significantly to incorporate a number of new major delivery responsibilities, including responsibility for UK border plans, UK Security Vetting (UKSV) functions, and functions formerly overseen by the now-closed Department for Exiting the European Union (DEXEU). The creation of the Government Commercial Organisation and the move of the Fast Stream Government Recruitment Service from HMRC also saw a combined c2000+ FTE join the Cabinet Office between 2017 and 2018.</p><p>On 2 October 2023, the Chancellor announced an immediate cap on civil servant headcount, reducing the size of the Civil Service to pre-pandemic levels across Whitehall by stopping any further Civil Service expansion, increasing efficiencies and boosting productivity.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 16/05/2024 16:13:39 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
