Written question asked by Richard Holden (Conservative) on Thursday, 15 May 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 19 May 2025. It was answered by Ellie Reeves (Labour) on Friday, 23 May 2025 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.


Mission Boards: Senior Civil Servants

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many civil service roles for the Mission Boards are unfilled.

Answer

Delivering the Missions is a task for the entire government. The Prime Minister has established five Mission Boards which bring together ministers from across government to drive progress on missions. They are chaired by the respective lead Secretaries of State, and attendance varies depending on the topic being discussed by the Board. As such, there are no unfilled civil service roles for the Mission Boards.

Directors General (DGs) have been appointed as Senior Responsible Officers for each of the Missions. Relevant departments are responsible for resourcing the delivery of policies and programmes related to the Missions. The Cabinet Office’s Mission Delivery Unit works in partnership with the Missions to support delivery and drive progress.
