On 1 July 2026, the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister delivered a keynote at the Re:State annual conference in London, outlining a series of reforms aimed at improving government delivery. He described measures to streamline priorities across Whitehall, introducing a single set of Prime Ministerial priorities for each department and an integrated delivery dashboard that tracks performance against agreed metrics. The speech highlighted the launch of a performance‑based pay system for the Senior Civil Service and the Project RESET programme, which has reduced departmental approval checkpoints to zero and accelerated programme delivery. He also reviewed the No10 Innovation Fellowship, the new Government Media Unit, and the National School of Government, which will provide AI and other training to civil servants. Finally, he called for greater devolution and reduced duplication between Westminster and local authorities.
