Philip Green hired by the Government to help identify potential savings

Their wives may wear his Topshop clothing line, but now it seems politicians also want a piece of Topshop mogul Philip Green.

The Arcadia boss has been hired by Prime Minister David Cameron to conduct an efficiency review into the government’s annual spending bill over the next three years.

He will work with the government free of charge to set out to cut inefficiencies and identify potential savings.

Green told the Guardian: “I believe that our shared experience in the procurement of many goods and services, across a broad geographical area of the UK will enable us to have important benchmarked information which will be extremely useful.

“I will give this efficiency review my very best effort knowing how hugely important it is to the recovery of the country. I want to help focus, motivate and energise to achieve these efficiency savings. It is these actions that will restart growth in the UK.”

Green will report his findings to the minister of the Cabinet Office Francis Maude and chief secretary to the treasury Danny Alexander in October.

We wonder if we’ll be spotting any of these politicians in Topshop or Burton suits in the future.
