The Cabinet Office will cut 400 jobs as part of reforms to cut red tape and remove duplication of roles.

The job losses, amounting to around 6% of the department’s 6,315 staff, will be achieved through a voluntary exit scheme, the Cabinet Office’s senior official Cat Little told civil servants on Thursday.
