Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee Inquiry on parliament.uk ↗
Inquiry scope (the committee's words)
Over the course of this Parliament, we will have an ongoing focus on the Civil Service that the UK needs and how we get it. We will be pursuing this through a series of targeted inquiries. The first of these of these inquiries is into Mission Government. The Government has announced a series of five “missions” on which policy will be focussed. This focus on missions will, it claims, enable government to operate in a less siloed and more long-term manner. Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry.
