Committee to ask Minister and Civil Servant about plans for Reform
3 March 2011
This will be the Committee’s third session on its inquiry into Civil Service Reform and Good Governance principles.
- Public Administration Select Committee
- Watch the meeting: Good governance and Civil Service reform
- Topics: Public administration
The Prime Minister’s ambitions for a Big Society imply a huge culture change for Whitehall and how it goes about the business of Government.
The Civil Service will be increasingly expected to promote and to enable, rather than to manage and to direct, public services.
The Committee will hear from Rt Hon Francis Maude MP, Minister for the Cabinet Office and Sir Gus O’Donnell, Head of the Civil Service about their plans to bring about this transformation.
Particular issues that may arise include:
- what the Government’s vision for a reformed Civil Service is;
- what plans it has for bringing this about and the challenges it may face; and
- how it will measure success.
