Our response

We thank all of you who engaged with this historic Coalition agreement by taking the time to read and comment on our programme. We promised government departments would read and respond to all comments that fall within their policy areas, and they’ve now done so.

Below you can find a response to each section of The Coalition: our programme for government. These responses focus on the main themes raised in each section.
