17. Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what initiatives he plans to increase the co-ordination of policy across Government departments. [75374]

The restructured and strengthened Cabinet Office and the establishment of a number of cross-cutting units are helping to tackle policy and service delivery issues which cross conventional departmental boundaries. The White Paper on Modernising Government to be published shortly will set out further initiatives.
