Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Cabinet Office maintains a standard template for (1) submissions to each department's Permanent Secretary and Accounting Officer, and (2) submissions to Cabinet Office Ministers; and, if so, whether these templates are identical, and on what date they were last revised.

His Majesty's Government can confirm that:

Each government department is responsible for their own internal Ministerial and Permanent Secretary submission templates.

The Cabinet Office maintains a standard template for submissions to Cabinet Office Ministers and the Cabinet Office Permanent Secretary.

The template for both is the same and was revised on 18th October 2024.
