  • 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.

  • William Wragg MP Chair of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee House of Commons Westminster SW1A 0AA
    William Wragg MP Chair of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee House of Commons Westminster SW1A 0AA 16 November 2020 Dear William, On 22 October, we were happy to agree to the Committee’s request to provide further clarity on several points raised during our session. Please find below the responses to the Committee’s questions. Permanent Secretary line management It has been the custom for some time for the permanent secretaries to the Cabinet Office and HM Treasury to support the Cabinet Secretary with the management of the permanent secretary cadre. Since my appointment I have formalised this arrangement. I have asked Alex Chisholm and Tom Scholar to take line management responsibility for a number of permanent secretaries. I have retained line management responsibility for Alex and Tom, as well as permanent secretaries in security and foreign policy roles, the permanent secretaries to the Devolved Administrations and those relating to the provision of legal and scientific advice. Tom Scholar manages permanent secretaries in economic and social policy roles, with the remainder being managed by Alex Chisholm. I do of course still meet regularly with all my permanent secretary colleagues. This is a new arrangement and we will keep it under review in the coming months. As I said on 22 October, we believe that sharing line management in the way I have described will enable us to bring the centre together more effectively in setting the direction for Government, but we will take a pragmatic approach and if we need to review the overall allocation or individual relationships, we will do so.

  • The Fourth Report on the Operation of the Honours System 2015-2019
    The Fourth Report on the Operation of the Honours System 2015-2019 Report by the Cabinet Office CONTENTS Executive Summary page 3 Prime Minister’s Strategic Priorities page 5 Quinquennial Review page 6 Promoting the honours system page 8 Diversity and Inclusion page 9 Transparency page 16 Integrity and Governance page 18 Annexes……………………………………………… page 21 Annex 1 - Flowchart Summary of Honours Process Annex 2 - Criteria for Honours Annex 3 - List of Members of Committees Annex 4 - Full Diversity Statistics Annex 5 - Annual Allocation of Honours by Committee Annex 6 - Forfeitures Annex 7 - Refusals Annex 8 - Honours Case Studies 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The last four years1 have been a very positive period for the honours system, celebrating the one hundredth anniversary since the foundation of the modern system and overseeing continued improvements to the diversity and breadth of the honours lists. Over this period around half of awards have consistently gone to women, and a growing number of awards have gone to recipients from BAME communities. Almost 72% of honours went to those doing community and voluntary service, while over 87% were at OBE level or below. The honours system remains an integral and highly valued part of our society, but we recognise that work is needed to ensure its continued relevance and credibility, and to maximise the impact and benefits the system can deliver to individuals and communities across the UK. A number of changes have been ​ ​ put in place over this period, and further work is planned for the remainder of 2019, and for 2020. This work broadly focuses on three key areas: diversity and outreach; transparency; and maintaining the integrity of the system.

  • The Return of Political Patronage
    CIVITAS CIVITAS Institute for the Study of Civil Society The Return of Political Patronage 55 Tufton Street, London, SW1P 3QL Tel: 020 7799 6677 Email: [email protected] Web: www.civitas.org.uk How special advisers are taking over from civil servants and why we need to worry about it ‘ o-one in power has announced it. No-one in power has even admitted it. But the actions of successive governments have been to downgrade N and marginalise objective civil service advice, and to replace it with counsel from politically committed special advisers.’ The special adviser – or ‘spad’ – has become firmly established in Westminster The Return of Political Patronage folklore over the past two decades, coming to symbolise much that is questionable about modern politics. The likes of Jo Moore, who urged colleagues to use 9/11 to bury bad news, and Damian McBride, who schemed on behalf of Gordon Brown against members of his own cabinet, have lent the Whitehall caricatures of the television comedy The Thick of It more than a veneer of credibility. But the implications for government of this growing cadre of politically-motivated apparatchiks are no joke, extending well beyond the chicanery of a few high- profile figures. In this excoriating account of contemporary government, Alasdair Palmer – who has worked up close with spads in the Home Office and spent years documenting Whitehall machinations as a journalist – portrays the return of political patronage to the highest levels of our public administration. It is a phenomenon that the Northcote-Trevelyan reforms of the mid-19th century were meant to banish, and one which now threatens Britain’s rare and precious heritage of relatively efficient, relatively uncorrupt government.

  • Brexit Interview: Ivan Rogers
    Ivan Rogers UK Permanent Representative to the EU November 2013 – January 2017 Prime Minister’s Adviser on Europe and Global Issues November 2011 – November 2013 27 November 2020 Cameron and the European Union, 2012 – 2015 UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE): Thinking back to your arrival after David Cameron had just vetoed the Fiscal Compact, can you reflect on where relations with the EU were at that point, and also what lessons, if any, the Cameron government drew from that episode? Ivan Rogers (IR): I formally came in the day after that, but I had been there sitting in the attic in the Cabinet Office for six weeks. Seeing Jon (Cunliffe) every day and, indeed, the rest of the EGIS (European and Global Issues Secretariat) team and the whole of the Whitehall team to get my head around events, because I’d been out of Whitehall for five and a half years at that point so although I was fluent on a lot of what had happened, I had left the policy scene in 2006. So I’d been doing my homework. What was obvious in November 2011 was that Jon had been sent on a kamikaze mission: or at least the kamikaze way of fulfilling an extremely tough, not to say wholly undeliverable, mission. You know, it was obvious to me what was going on and how he was trying to do it and what was boiling up. The context, which others will have told you, is essentially growing trouble Page 1/58 inside the Conservative Party at the idea that, yet again, we would be obliged to have treaty changes put through the House of Commons at speed in order to save the Eurozone.
