HL Deb 24 April 2001 vol 625 cc34-5WA
Lord Dubs

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether an announcement about the continuing implementation of the recommendations contained within Successful IT: Modernising Government in Action is to be made. [HL1842]

Baroness Jay of Paddington

The Prime Minister has decided that ministerial and official responsibility for continuing the implementation of these recommendations will move to HM Treasury and the Office of Government Commerce. This will provide greater synergy with the work that Office for Government Commerce already does with departments on IT-enabled projects.

It should be clear that both ministerial and official responsibility for the performance of individual projects remains with each department.
