    For each agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible, what is the forecast payback period, in months, i.e. the time before the disestablishment of roles (if any) made as part of Budget 2026 savings for votes the Minister is responsible for delivers net Crown savings, after accounting for redundancy costs, change-management costs, and any consultancy or contractor costs?

Answer

The Government announced measures to transform the public service as part of Budget 2026 on 28 May 2026. I am advised that Customs is considering the implications of the transformation programme and that Customs has not disestablished any roles as a consequence of the savings announced in Budget 2026. This is also my response to Written Parliamentary Questions 24714, 24717, and 24905 (2026).
