Civil Service credit cards to be frozen to cut spending

Civil Service credit cards will be frozen this week under plans to reduce their numbers by 50% and slash Government spending.

The Cabinet Office will order almost all of the 20,000 procurement cards used by civil servants to be frozen.

Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden said the so-called government procurement cards should only be provided to officials when it is essential.
