Addressed to Cabinet Office
Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.
Recommendation (the Commission's words)
Cabinet Office should oversee the development of an intuitive online application form, to be used by all applicants seeking advice under the BARs and tailored to meet the requirements of each body. This application form should prompt users to ensure timely completion, act as a performance tracker and flag areas of common issue.
