Recommendation 23
23
Publish updated Governance Code, board terms of reference, minutes, and Lead NED reports
Recommendation
In chapter two in this Report, we recommend that the Government publishes an updated Corporate Governance Code and terms of reference for each departmental board to provide greater transparency on the individual responsibilities of NEDs. In addition to this, we recommend routine publishing of board minutes on GOV.UK after each quarterly meeting, with a standing agenda item on the work of NEDs in departments. Furthermore, the Government Lead Non-Executive reports should be published routinely within four months of the reporting year ending at the end of March. We therefore expect the report covering 2022–23 to be published by August
