Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Cabinet Office, Annual report and accounts 2025-26, HC 602, 14 September 2026, p.31, if she will publish the training manuals and materials for the bespoke training course for Ministers.

The Crisis Management Excellence Programme (CMEP) is a Cabinet Office-led, multi-year programme designed to upskill government officials in crisis response. The Cabinet Office has now run the CMEP since 2023. We have trained over 4,000 Civil Servants since then, including over 164 Permanent Secretaries and Director Generals.

Our training package for Government Ministers covers sensitive material and is conducted at secret, we are therefore not able to share our learning materials due to the classified nature of the content.
