▸ Context
The Cabinet Office has not updated its list of ministerial responsibilities, partly due to the focus on responding to COVID-19 challenges.
When will an update be published for the gov.uk website with individual Cabinet Office Minister responsibilities? The Department is noted as one of the worst performers in FOI requests and transparency.
Chloe Smith, Minister for Constitution (The Parliamentary Secretary, Cabinet Office)
Cabinet Office Ministers have been accounting for themselves adequately; all correspondence, parliamentary questions and other matters will be properly answered. The Department is committed to leading on freedom of information duties under the FOI Act 2000 and proactive transparency measures.
