Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what proportion of requests for consultancy and temporary staff for his Department were approved via a resource board.

HMT does not have a resource board. Consultancy above £20k and less than 9 months in term is subject to Ministerial sign-off, with legal services (same thresholds) delegated to head of Treasury Legal Advisers for approval

Any requirement above £20k and longer than 9 months is subject to wider Government and Ministerial approval as per the controls guidance
