Why?
Presumably you mean to bring services back in-house, but without an increase in the SP and CS headcount or increase in overall budget? (Both are regarded as constraints).
But the key point here is that the SP headcount constraints should be lifted! Otherwise we are just re-arranging deckchairs on the Titanic, only the 'deckchairs' are a tiny number of personnel and kit well below critical mass.
Maybe refund Defence by scrapping the commitment to splurge £14B a year on the Indian space programme under the guise of foreign aid...
