Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Solicitor General, Pursuant to the answer of 8 June 2026, to Question 4139, on Government Departments: Cost Effectiveness, if she will publish the most recent quarterly efficiency report submitted to HM Treasury by HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate as a non-ministerial department.

HMT’s publication of the 2026-27 financial reporting manual makes clear that a select group of smaller departments and independent bodies – which includes the Law Officers Departments - are exempt from the requirement to report efficiencies to HM Treasury in line with the Government Efficiency Framework. There are therefore no efficiency reports from the HMCPSI to HM Treasury, but the Law Officer Departments are all working towards their commitment at Spending Review 2025 to deliver at least 5% savings and efficiencies over Phase 2 of the SR period.
