Asked by: Baroness Freeman of Steventon (Crossbench - Life peer)
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to ensure that when policy evaluations are commissioned the methods and outcomes are pre-registered, and that the results will be published in a timely manner.
Answered by Baroness Twycross - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)
All Government evaluations should be pre-registered on the Evaluation Task Force Evaluation Registry, including methods and expected publication timelines. Registering evaluations has been mandatory for Government Departments since April 2024.
Further information on the Evaluation Registry is available online on the 'Guidance on using the Evaluation Registry' webpage. The Evaluation Registry is due to be launched to the public in the coming months.
