The civil service will be told to slash more than £2billion a year from its budget by the end of the decade as part of the Government’s spending review.
The Cabinet Office will tell departments to cut their administrative budgets by 15 per cent, which is expected to save £2.2billion a year by 2029-30.
They will first be asked to reduce budgets by 10 per cent by 2028-29 in a bid to save £1.5billion a year, which the head of the FDA union said equates to nearly 10per cent of the salary bill for the civil service.
Administrative budgets include HR, policy advice and office management rather than frontline services.
