Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the extent to which expert advice provided to Government is directly accountable to Parliament; whether he plans to ensure that SAGE and its sub-committees are directly accountable to Parliament; and if he will make a statement.

The Government is committed to sharing information and data that informs decision-making. The minutes of SAGE meetings and the evidence considered by SAGE are routinely published on GOV.UK.
