On 16 March 2011, Hansard, columns 9-10WS, the Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General, Mr Maude issued a written ministerial statement updating Parliament on progress on public bodies reform. That statement also announced that Departments estimate cumulative administrative savings of at least £2.6 billion will flow from public bodies over the spending review period.

I estimate net overall administrative savings from the Disability Employment Advisory Committee over the spending review period of £314,000.

This is our best estimate of planned net savings to emerge from these reforms. The Disability Employment Advisory Committee has closed with effect from 30 November 2010.
