Chris Seeks Action On "Bloated & Dysfunctional Public Services"
Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
But what is my right hon. Friend doing about the internal fraud within the Government, caused by low productivity and bloated and dysfunctional public services?
Jacob Rees-Mogg Minister of State (Minister for Brexit Opportunities and Government efficiency)
My hon. Friend is a great one for holding the Government and the bureaucracy to account, and he is right to do so. That is why we are looking to significant productivity increases by reducing the size of the civil service back to where it was in 2016, to ensure that services are provided to the public efficiently and effectively. As we reduce the number, so there will be significant taxpayer spending on better technology, because the use of technology speeds up actions for citizens and reduces costs for the taxpayer.
