The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of cross-Government working in the context of the disbanding of Mission Boards.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

Mission Boards have been reformed to become delivery-focused forums benefitting from external and industry expertise, led by the relevant Secretary of State. Departments will continue to work collaboratively with each other and external experts to achieve the Government’s missions.
