To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the Government’s policy is on the use of contingent labour in the Civil Service.

Answer

Georgia Gould
Contingent labour contracts should only be used in government where better value alternatives are not available. The Government will stop all non-essential expenditure on consultants, and reduce the reliance on contingent labour.
