Cabinet Office to "shake up" Government in sweeping reforms

Minister for the Cabinet Office, Clay Norris MP, confirmed that his department will be bringing in sweeping reforms to "shake up" Government and control within Government. This dramatic change in shift comes just days after the Chancellor was embarrassed and defeated by the Budget.
"Mr Speaker, after much review and consultation, the Cabinet Office, with consent of Ministers, has decided to shake up Government. The Conservatives have always been the party of change and accepting change is an important principle to us. Several changes have already been seen: the economy, the military, taxpayers. Whatever aspect of daily life we talk about, there is always room for change. Although, and this is crucial, Government should not change things for the sake of change; no, it needs to be well thought out, developed and have meaning behind it. The change we introduce today to Government Structure will ensure that there is accountability and transparency in this Government and governments which succeed ours.
Firstly, Mr Speaker, I am pleased to announce to establishment of several, permanent, advisory Chamber Committee's. These's committees will be as follows: Economic Development; Military and Defense; Hastiga and Veldunium; Crime and Emergency Services and finally, Government Accountability. These permanent, or semi-permanent, Committees will set the way for true conversation and discussion. A mixture of MPs will sit on these Committees and Chairmanship shall be split depending on the Committee. The Government also wishes to make it easier for MPs to introduce Private Committees and bring about Conversation.
Secondly, Mr Speaker, the Cabinet Office will be writing and commissioning a new Ministerial Code which will be signed by all Government Ministers. The Code will discuss conduct of Ministers, spending of Ministers and overall presentation of Ministers as representatives of Falleentium. Along with the Ministerial Code, the Government will be setting up the APGFM, the All Parliamentary Group on Former Ministers. An independent organisation, who will keep watch on Former Government Ministers; this includes approving any job, or financial work, Ministers do after leaving Government.
And, Mr Speaker, the Government is also devolving more powers to its own Ministers. The Chancellor has agreed to Secretaries of State having more control over their Departments, appointment of officials and representation of this Office. Obviously, with more control in their hands, comes more accountability. This means more regular appearances of Government Ministers at Urgent Questions and Motions.
Lastly, the Government's commitment to bipartisanship has never been more important. The Government therefore will be inviting the Shadow Cabinet to regular talks and combined Cabinet Meetings. We hope this will encourage work across Parliament to further the important work made by MPs.
Oh, and yes, Mr Speaker, yes, the Chancellor will be staying on. I know that's been asked a lot and I'll put an end to that here. The Chancellor accepts he done wrong and his actions were inexcusable, but he has apologized and will not make the same mistake twice."
