Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what his Department's planned timetable is for the the publication of substantive details on the implementation and configuration of the proposed new duty of candour; and whether he plans to issue a formal consultation.

We remain fully committed to bringing in this legislation which will include a legal duty of candour for public servants and criminal sanctions for those who do not comply.

Having consulted with groups and their representatives, more time is required to draft the best version of a Hillsborough Law.
