Recommendation
The Cabinet Secretary denied that there is a lack of resource dedicated to compliance issues in Government but admitted that there is a “brigading issue” of making them work together. We accept that Nigel Boardman’s proposal for a Compliance Function might create difficulties by cutting across current compliance operations located in existing Functions. However, other means of addressing the “brigading issue” are required. We were told work has been conducted to address this. In its response to this report, the Government should include an update on this and its next steps.
Government Response Summary
The Government states it is not bringing forward new primary legislation to underpin the roles, remits, and codes of standards bodies, failing to provide an update on addressing the 'brigading issue'.
