The Daily Mirror has this story today:

Hunt, 43, outlined the impact of cuts, which he admitted could halve the workforce of nearly 600, to senior staff at the department’s HQ near Trafalgar Square.

He said: “The best-case scenario is still going to be a scenario in which there are going to be bigger cuts than any of the areas we represent have ever had to face, probably in their history.

We’ve made a small start with changes in policy on ministerial cars which is an absolute pain, but we’re all getting used to it.”
