Gov says it's found £11.4m in potential savings

The government says it's finished 35 out of 180 potential cost-saving measures.

In its latest quarterly report about its Efficiencies and Change Programme, it says it's found a possible £11.4 million in savings as it tries to save £50 million over the next five years.

And it says that includes £2.7 million in improved income collection through measures such as debt collection or making better use of assets.

The report also says more than 350 government workers are using Microsoft's Copilot AI as part of the efficiency programme.
