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 his Department is taking to ensure that cross-departmental dependencies are identified and managed in relation to the Plan; and if he will publish a comprehensive risk register outlining how delivery delays in one department might impact mission efforts in another or the overall timeline of mission delivery.

Answered by Ellie Reeves

Missions are a new way of doing government. The core aim of the missions is to break down silos between departments to achieve specific, long-term outcomes. The Prime Minister has established 5 designated mission boards which bring together Ministers from across government, with the core aim to break down silos between departments to achieve specific, long-term outcomes that drive tangible change for the public.
