Well done to the Office of Project Management and Procurement for drafting and very patiently pushing these improvements through hoops since… was it 2011? Great work!

Yep. Weak, toothless, pointless. That’s their idea of “reform”. Grand “codes” about nothing that they can ignore without repercussion.

I would presume that all travel expenses from 18 July onwards are also going to be available on the Government website pronto.

Hard to argue with any of that although receiving a pen from a vendor is going to be overly burdensome…better to just give it back . Certainly tight requirements on Ministers.
