Departmental Coordination

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 13 January 2025UIN 22308

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the policy paper entitled Plan for Change, published on 5 December 2024, CP1210, what steps the Government is taking to prevent duplication of efforts across departments involved in delivering the Plan; and if the Government will publish departmental roles and responsibilities for each mission area.

Answered by Ellie Reeves

Mission-led government is about breaking down silos between departments in the delivery of the Plan for Change. Each mission has a Secretary of State who takes responsibility for coordinating the activity of other relevant departments, including by chairing the mission board.
