I refer the honourable gentleman to recent correspondence from Justin Tomlinson MP, Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work, a copy of which has been placed in the library of the House, which clarifies previous answers on this subject.

As the Prime Minister’s most senior policy adviser and Secretary to the Cabinet, the Cabinet Secretary provides advice on a wide range of policy issues. Policy decisions are taken by ministers, within the framework of collective Cabinet responsibility, on the advice of the Civil Service.
