1
Ministerial responsibility for labour market policy remains fragmented across Whitehall.
Conclusion
Ministerial responsibility for labour market policy is fragmented across Whitehall departments. We therefore call on the Government to consider the following: a) establish a Ministry of Labour b) appoint a new Minister of State for Labour in the Cabinet Office with the authority to convene and coordinate labour market policy across Whitehall c) establish a Cabinet Committee on Labour, chaired by a Business and Trade Minister, which convenes each relevant Minister from each relevant Department on labour market policy.
