Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
As announced in the Protecting What Matters publication on the 9th March, we are currently updating and embedding the 2024 engagement principles and responsibility for decisions and due diligence around who departments engage with sits with those departments and the appropriate policy areas. It is for individual government departments to decide to use these principles, or their own due diligence processes around engagement. If asked, we will advise and share information to help inform their decisions.
