Minister without Portfolio: Departmental Responsibilities
Friday 17th May 2024

Asked by: Sarah Olney (Liberal Democrat - Richmond Park)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much his Department has spent on matters relating to common sense at the instruction of the Minister without portfolio within the Cabinet Office since her appointment.

Answered by John Glen - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office

The Minister’s official role is the Minister without Portfolio, a role which has a large scope across government. The Minister supports the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister for the Cabinet Office, to identify where our public sector delivery is inhibited by bureaucracy and inefficiencies. The Minister’s overarching aim is to ensure efficiency and value for money for the taxpayer.

Further information on the Minister without Portfolio’s role can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/people/esther-mcvey.

Hammersmith Bridge: Repairs and Maintenance
Thursday 16th May 2024

Asked by: Sarah Olney (Liberal Democrat - Richmond Park)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what his timeline is for reviewing the business case for strengthening works on Hammersmith Bridge.

Answered by Huw Merriman - Minister of State (Department for Transport)

Given the complexity of the Strengthening works and the rising projected costs, Ministers are considering next steps and will make a final decision on the business case in due course.

In the meantime, my Department is continuing to work productively with both the Borough and Transport for London to ensure the eventual reopening of Hammersmith Bridge to all users, subject to cost.

The Government recognises the frustration Londoners feel due to the ongoing closure of Hammersmith Bridge, which is why we’ve provided almost £13m towards repairing and stabilising the structure, and recently announced almost £3m for a new temporary cycle way.
