Cabinet Manual

Today I learnt that the Cabinet Manual published this week by the Prime Minister, is the “ultimate user’s guide to government”.

According to the Cabinet Office website:

“The Cabinet Manual will for the first time provide a guide to the laws, conventions and rules on the operation of Government. The Manual is designed primarily as a user’s guide but has the potential to become a useful reference tool for all those with an interest in the workings of Government”.*

There are chapters on all aspects of government; the sovereign, the executive, the cabinet, devolved administrations, the EU, as well as financial & expenditure and official information. At 110 pages long, it is pretty comprehensive and I’m sure it will be a useful reference tool. All I need to do now is read it…
