Details
Each government department publishes the letters of appointment for their GMPP SROs. These letters include:
- the date of appointment
- project deliverables
- the tenure of the role linked to key project milestones
- the extent and limit of their accountability
The guidance for officials giving evidence to Parliamentary Select Committee, known as the Osmotherly Rules, was updated on 17 October 2014. As part of this update DWP is committed to publishing GMPP SRO letters of appointment.
