[QUOTE="Janet Hughes Defra, post: 8020296, member: 153068"] Officials advise, ministers decide, and then I and my team, along with delivery partners, are responsible for implementing what's decided. Yes I do have a lot of responsibility around detailed scheme design and delivery, within the policy set by the government of the day and always subject to decisions by ministers, and I and my team advise them on policy issues, but it's for them to decide and be accountable for those decisions and it's not for me as a civil servant to comment publicly on high level political or policy questions such as the one you asked. I know that's not the answer you want, and I'm sorry about that - it's a judgement call, and I do try to make these calls in as helpful and transparent a way as I possibly can. [/QUOTE]
