  • Ministerial Reshuffle – 5 June 2009 8 June 2009
    Ministerial Reshuffle – 5 June 2009 8 June 2009 This note provides details of the Cabinet and Ministerial reshuffle carried out by the Prime Minister on 5 June following the resignation of a number of Cabinet members and other Ministers over the previous few days. In the new Cabinet, John Denham succeeds Hazel Blears as Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government and John Healey becomes Housing Minister – attending Cabinet - following Margaret Beckett’s departure. Other key Cabinet positions with responsibility for issues affecting housing remain largely unchanged. Alistair Darling stays as Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lord Mandelson at Business with increased responsibilities, while Ed Miliband continues at the Department for Energy and Climate Change and Hilary Benn at Defra. Yvette Cooper has, however, moved to become the new Secretary of State for Work and Pensions with Liam Byrne becoming Chief Secretary to the Treasury. The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills has been merged with BERR to create a new Department for Business, Innovation and Skills under Lord Mandelson. As an existing CLG Minister, John Healey will be familiar with a number of the issues affecting the industry. He has been involved with last year’s Planning Act, including discussions on the Community Infrastructure Levy, and changes to future arrangements for the adoption of Regional Spatial Strategies. HBF will be seeking an early meeting with the new Housing Minister. A full list of the new Cabinet and other changes is set out below. There may yet be further changes in junior ministerial positions and we will let you know of any that bear on matters of interest to the industry.

  • Cabinet Committees
    Published on The Institute for Government (https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk) Home > Whitehall Explained > Cabinet committees Cabinet committees What are cabinet committees? Cabinet committees are groups of ministers that can “take collective decisions that are binding across government”.[1] They are partly designed to reduce the burden on the full cabinet by allowing smaller groups of ministers to take decisions on specific policy areas. These committees have been around in some form since the early 20th century. The government can also create other types of ministerial committees. In June 2015, David Cameron introduced implementation taskforces, designed “to monitor and drive delivery of the government’s most important cross-cutting priorities”[2], although these were discontinued when Boris Johnson became prime minister in July 2019. In March 2020, Boris Johnson announced the creation of four new ‘implementation committees’[3] in response to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. These four committees focused on healthcare, the general public sector, economic and business, and international response. The four committees were chaired by Health Secretary Matt Hancock, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Michael Gove, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab respectively. Each committee chair fed into a daily ‘C-19 meeting’ of the prime minister, key ministers and senior officials, to discuss Covid-19. These ‘implementation committees’ were replaced by two new Covid-19 related cabinet committees in June 2020 – ‘COVID-19 Strategy’ and ‘COVID-19 Operations’. On 13 May 2020, the Cabinet Office also announced the creation of five new ‘roadmap taskforces’[4] – committees intended to help guide certain sectors of the UK economy out of the Covid-19 induced lockdown.

  • Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury 1 Horse Guards Road London, SW1A 2HQ
    Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury 1 Horse Guards Road London, SW1A 2HQ 29th August 2019 Dear Sajid, We are writing to you as MPs with school sixth forms, sixth form colleges and FE colleges in our constituencies to ask that you prioritise investment in 16 to 18 education in the forthcoming spending round. The Institute for Fiscal Studies reports that education funding for 16 to 18 year olds “has seen the biggest squeeze of all stages of education for young people in recent years”. This is having a serious impact on students. A recent survey of schools and colleges for the Raise the Rate campaign found that: • 78% have reduced student support services or extra-curricular activities as a result of funding pressures – with significant cuts to mental health support, employability skills and careers advice • 51% of schools and colleges have dropped courses in modern foreign languages, with A levels in German, French and Spanish the main casualties • 38% have dropped STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) courses The underinvestment in sixth form education is bad for students, bad for social mobility and bad for the economy. A central aim of the Industrial Strategy is to help young people to develop the skills they need to do the high-paid, high-skilled jobs of the future. The post-Brexit economy will be driven by leaders, scientists, technicians, engineers and others that will all pass through the pivotal phase of 16 to 18 education, so we must ensure that it is properly funded. We urge you to use the spending review to implement the first recommendation in A ten-year plan for school and college funding - the report published by the Education Committee in July - which is to “urgently address underfunding in further education by increasing the base rate from £4,000 to at least £4,760, rising in line with inflation.” This is the only way to ensure that schools and colleges can increase student services to minimum required levels, protect minority subjects and reverse the decline in extra-curricular activities and work experience.
