With talk of an Office of Prime Minister, a return of Policy Boards - trialled in 2013 - and a third No 10 PermSec to be appointed it’s worth @BorisJohnson looking at more ambitious Whitehall reforms as recommended by @GovernSmarter. Time for real reform! https://t.co/aGzMf31umy

[Nick Herbert @nickherbertcbe]

A Prime Minister’s department / Office of the PM, with a Permanent Secretary to run it, is in any case a desirable reform — one of the recommendations of the @GovernSmarter report last year https://t.co/q3cEVSiZZa**
