Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent on 25 June (HL8364), whether they will now answer the question put; namely what period of time is meant by the phrase “in a generation” in their Plan for Change published on 5 December 2024.

I refer the noble Lord to the answer of HL8364 given on 25 June 2025:

Lord Patten: To ask His Majesty's Government what period of time is meant by the phrase “in a generation” in their Plan for Change published on 5 December 2024.

Baroness Anderson answered: The use of the term “in a generation” in the Plan for Change is consistent with language used in other government documents to indicate ambitious reform. Milestones for this Parliament have been clearly set out.
