Five Year Plan
Asked to clarify what a Five Year Plan was, and were they backed by documents, the PMOS said that if the journalist examined various departments’ Five Year Plans, he would see the depth of the plan. The PMOS explained that it was work that was developing an overall strategy for five years within a department, and setting that out. It had been set out to Parliament, and the statement to Parliament was what the plan contained. It was a clear vision of each subject matter of the Government’s approach.

Ooh! A Five Year Plan! How original!

In a fast changing World forward planning is "what’s for lunch?"
- my quote as a software developer.
A 5 year plan is complete b*ll*cks when governments only sit for 4 years.
Why are they wasting my taxes?

So no actual explanation at all, just a rather oblique reference to the depth of the plans, as though that’s enough for any idiot to understand how that depth of planning makes the plan a Five Year Plan. What a load of old tosh!
