Cabinet Office: Management

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 20 May 2026UIN 2088

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will publish the Cabinet Office Board Operating Framework.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

There is no requirement for departments to publish Board Operating Frameworks, however the governance system it describes is included as part of the Department’s Annual Report and Accounts (published yearly) and in the Accounting Officer System Statement (which is due to be updated in the near future). These documents are available on Gov.uk.
