Government Response
Accepted
HM Government
Accepted
The government agrees with the Committee’s recommendation. Programme captures lessons following key activity and periodically. Some of these lessons have already been shared across policing, the Home Office and with other government departments. As the programme plans for closure it is preparing documentation that captures the lessons as part of closure reporting. The sharing of lessons and what has worked well has been recognised by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA), recommending that the programme produce a ‘best practice’ document that can be shared with the IPA and across government. The Home Office, with the programme, will produce a lessons learned report and a best practice document for the Home Office, other parts of government and policing, as recommended by the committee and that of the IPA. In order to capture the lessons and best practice and to include programme closure, the document will be shared in August 2023, rather than recommended April 2023 date.
