Question to the Cabinet Office:

What progress he has made on establishing the National School of Government and Public Services.

The National School of Government and Public Services is on track to launch this year.

We will be moving away from outsourced government training contracts and, as we promised at the last General Election, provide better value for money for the taxpayer.

As the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister announced at the FDA conference in May, this will include offering AI skills training to civil servants when the National School launches to ensure they have the right tools to support the Government deliver its priorities.
