    Public Accounts Committee Oral evidence: Water Supply and Demand Management, HC 378 Monday 1 June 2020 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 1 June 2020. Watch the meeting Members present: Meg Hillier (Chair); Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown; Dame Cheryl Gillan; Mr Richard Holden; Sir Bernard Jenkin; Mr Gagan Mohindra; Sarah Olney Nick Smith; James Wild. Gareth Davies, Comptroller and Auditor General, Keith Davis, Director, National Audit Office, and Marius Gallaher, Alternate Treasury Officer of Accounts, HM Treasury, were in attendance. Questions 1-89 Witnesses I: Tamara Finkelstein, Permanent Secretary, DEFRA, Sally Randall, Director, Floods and Water, DEFRA, Rachel Fletcher, Chief Executive, Ofwat, and Sir James Bevan, Chief Executive, Environment Agency. Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General Water supply and demand management (HC 107) Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Tamara Finkelstein, Sally Randall, Rachel Fletcher and Sir James Bevan. Chair: Welcome to the Public Accounts Committee on 1 June 2020. We are here today to look at the very important issue of water supply and demand management, and I thank the National Audit Office for its excellent Report on this. This is a concern that has been running for a long while, because if something is not done to manage our water supply and the demand for it, we will run out of water in the next 15 years. The Committee on Climate Change predicts that the demand for water in England will exceed supply by between 1.1 billion and 3.1 billion litres a day by the 2050s, but we are losing a lot through leakage—around 20%— which I know many colleagues around the House have concerns about.

  • The Performance of the Department for Culture Media and Sport 2012-13
    DEPARTMENTAL OVERVIEW The performance of the Department for Culture, Media & Sport 2012-13 MARCH 2014 Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely. Our public audit perspective helps Parliament hold government to account and improve public services. The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending for Parliament and is independent of government. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Amyas Morse, is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO, which employs some 860 staff. The C&AG certifies the accounts of all government departments and many other public sector bodies. He has statutory authority to examine and report to Parliament on whether departments and the bodies they fund have used their resources efficiently, effectively, and with economy. Our studies evaluate the value for money of public spending, nationally and locally. Our recommendations and reports on good practice help government improve public services, and our work led to audited savings of almost £1.2 billion in 2012. Contents Introduction Aim and scope of this briefing 4 Part One About the Department 5 Part Two Recent NAO work on the Department 21 Appendix One The Department’s sponsored bodies at 1 April 2013 30 Appendix Two Results of the Civil Service People Survey 2013 32 Appendix Three Publications by the NAO on the Department since April 2012 34 Appendix Four Cross-government reports of relevance to the Department in 2013 35 Links to external websites were valid at the time of publication of this report.

  • Sutton Trust and Education Endowment Foundation
    The Pupil Premium, Next Steps - Sutton Trust and Education Endowment Foundation Date 3 September 2015 Author Mark Upton LGiU/CSN Associate Summary The Sutton Trust and the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) recently hosted a summit meeting bringing together policy-makers, academics and the teaching profession to discuss the future of the pupil premium. It considered a new report Pupil Premium: Next Steps (July 2015) which made a series of recommendations including that the government should automatically reward schools that successfully and consistently improve results for their disadvantaged pupils and for introducing more effective systems to allow schools to identify pupils eligible for pupil premium funding. New polling commissioned for the summit revealed that 50% of primary school teachers and 44% of secondary teachers feel the premium is being used to continue activities that would not otherwise happen due to funding pressures in other areas of their budget. It also shows that the use of evidence in the classroom is growing: 64% of school leaders said they used research to decide how to spend their pupil premium, compared with 52% in 2012. This briefing will be of particular interest to cabinet portfolio and overview and scrutiny (elected) members and senior officers with responsibility for education and for children in care. Briefing in Full The Sutton Trust and the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) recently hosted a summit meeting on the future of the pupil premium bringing together policy-makers, academics and the teaching profession to discuss how best to improve attainment for disadvantaged pupils, and closing the gap between them and their peers.

  • Type Document Title Here
    New cabinet secretary Simon Case has a lot to prove and even more to do Blog post by Senior Associate Joe Armitage, 2 September 2020 Simon Case, who was appointed permanent secretary of 10 Downing Street this May, has been confirmed as the next cabinet secretary. At 41, he is the youngest person in the position since Lord Hankey, for whom the role was created in 1916, during the middle of the Great War. Like Hankey, Case will sit next to the prime minister at meetings of the Cabinet and assume ultimate responsibility for the management of the government’s bureaucracy at one of the most challenging moments in the country’s history. It’s widely known in Whitehall that he wasn’t the first pick for the job. The prime minister hoped Sharon White - the former CEO of OFCOM and current chairwoman of John Lewis - would agree to re-enter government and take on the role instead. Chris Wormald, permanent secretary of the Department for Health and Social Care, is understood to have been considered second favourite. Key Number 10 political staff have placed a great emphasis on recruiting people with a scientific background into key roles, labelling those with arts degrees and a private education as “public school bluffers.” However, like most of their other key appointments to date, Case’s background is not in keeping with this given that he was independently educated before studying History at Cambridge. Unlike most cabinet secretaries he has not served at either the Treasury or the Foreign Office, he also has no experience of leading a significant government delivery department as permanent secretary.

  • ICIBI Recruitment Pack
    INDEPENDENT CHIEF INSPECTOR OF BORDERS AND IMMIGRATION Recruitment Information Pack May 2020 Contents Foreword 3 Role description 4 Person Specification 7 Response Instructions 8 Indicative Timetable 9 Pre-appointment Scrutiny 11 Terms of Appointment 13 Complaints 16 Annex A – Seven Principles of Public Life 17 Annex B – Application forms (attached separately) - Annex C – Diversity Monitoring Form (attached separately) - 2 Foreword from Shona Dunn, Second Permanent Secretary and Senior sponsor for the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration (ICIBI) Thank you for your interest in this role. The Home Office is one of the great Departments of State and has one of the most challenging roles in government. Its mission is fundamentally important: to keep Britain’s streets safe and its borders secure. The Border, Immigration, and Citizenship System (BICS) is the overarching structure that incorporates the strategic, policy making, and operational functions for a safe and secure border, and to control immigration and access to citizenship. As Second Permanent Secretary, I lead the BIC system and I am directly responsible for overseeing four Director General commands, including over 28,000 people doing some of the most complex, sensitive and high-profile work anywhere in the public or private sectors. The Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration (ICIBI) plays a crucial role in scrutinising our border and immigration functions and helping to drive improvements in the system. I regularly meet the Inspector to discuss the Inspectorate’s work in detail. The purpose of this is to understand emerging issues and recommendations for change and to ensure the department responds decisively.

    Shona Dunn Nick Smallwood 2nd Permanent Secretary Chief Executive, Home Office Infrastructure and Projects Authority 2 Marsham Street 1 Horse Guards London SW1P 4DF London SW1A 2HQ 5 October 2020 Deborah Chittenden SRO Immigration Platform Technologies By Email Dear Deborah, Role as Senior Responsible Owner for the Immigration Platform Technologies Programme We are writing to re-confirm your appointment as Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) for the Immigration Platform Technologies Programme, which forms part of the Government Major Project Portfolio (GMPP). You will be directly accountable to Abi Tierney, Director General, UK Visas and Immigration, under the oversight of the Permanent Secretary and the Secretary of State for the Home Office. You will undertake this SRO role alongside your other responsibilities. You must ensure that you allocate enough time to fulfil the responsibilities that being an SRO entails and, as set out in Annex 1, these are expected to take up about 25-30% of your time. This will be periodically reviewed to ensure that an appropriate balance is maintained across the full range of your responsibilities. As SRO, you will have personal responsibility for delivery of the Immigration Platform Technologies Programme and will be held accountable for: the delivery of its objectives and policy intent; securing and protecting its vision; ensuring that it is governed responsibly, reported honestly, and issues escalated appropriately; and influencing constructively the context, culture and operating environment. Key decisions on GMPP level projects and anything which is otherwise novel, contentious or commercially sensitive, or which Ministers have asked to see must be submitted in a timely manner to the Permanent Secretary and Ministers as appropriate.
