Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what processes his Department has put in place to (a) track and (b) manage Government policy announcements and associated deadlines.

Government makes collective decisions on policy via Cabinet and Cabinet Sub-Committees.

Single Departmental Plans (SDPs) are central to how the government plans and tracks its performance. Updated annually, the plans reflect changes in the Government’s priorities, including new policy announcements. SDPs are agreed by Cabinet Office and HM Treasury Ministers. Departments report regularly to Cabinet Office on their progress in delivering their SDPs.

Ministerial Implementation Task Forces (ITFs) also meet regularly to monitor delivery and to discuss milestones.
