The Treasury’s own direct science and technology expenditure is relatively small, some £200,000 each year which is largely spent on economic advice, for example, research commissioned from the London Business School on corporate failure and rescue mechanisms and interaction with the banking sector.
The Treasury places a high value, and will continue to put increasing emphasis, on evidence as part of policy formulation, but this requires appropriately qualified staff.  Staff shortages are being addressed by direct recruitment of graduates, alongside civil service-wide recruitment processes.
