The Government’s value for money advice unit is “understaffed” and “poorly defined”, according to the head of a cross-party group of MPs.

The Office for Value For Money has been described as “something of a red herring” by Dame Meg Hillier, the chairwoman of the Treasury Committee, with a “vague remit” and “no clear plan to measure its effectiveness”.
