A major Whitehall department faces a "significant hole" in its spending plans unless it speeds up efficiency efforts, a committee of MPs has warned. It said it would be "extremely challenging" for the CLG to find the £887 million of savings demanded by 2011 by the Treasury. "Failure to do so will leave a very significant hole in CLG's plans," said the Commons select committee which monitors its performance. In a scathing assessment, the MPs accused the department of lacking the "full range of skills" required to do its job properly and failing to come up with figures needed to judge its work. A policy of moving staff on after nine months was "not a sensible way to run an organisation", their report warned mandarins - but also blamed ministerial reshuffles for poor performance.
