Cabinet Office

The Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) told journalists that the Prime Minister had thanked Cabinet Office staff at a conference today for the manner in which the transition was conducted. He also referred to the announcements last week to put patients first in an improved NHS, setting out the Government’s priorities going forward. The Prime Minister made reference to the changes in tuition fees that would mean that the majority of students would now receive grants. He also said that from tomorrow, all children at primary and secondary school would benefit from personalised learning and at all levels raise their performance, which was also the general subject matter of Ed Balls’ statement on schools tomorrow. The Prime Minister continued to say that in the days ahead, we would bring forward announcements to put forward affordable housing as well as skills within the reach of more people.

Asked if the Prime Minister had discussed the changes that would affect the staff, the PMS replied that he had thanked them for their work on the smooth and effective transition, as well as the efficiency and professionalism of the civil service and its importance in delivering change over the period ahead.

Asked if the Prime Minister was talking about changes that might take place in that department, for example, moving buildings, the PMS said that it was not a specific discussion about where staff would be located.

Asked if there had been anything about what was expected of Cabinet Office staff in terms of code of conduct, the PMS replied that this was more about what the priorities and issues of the Government were.
