M1990-43 Advices Furnished on Cabinet Proposals

Detailed Outline

I wish to draw to the attention of Ministers the need for:

  • prompt replies to be furnished when their advices are sought on Cabinet proposals; and
  • for all correspondence to appropriately identify the particular Cabinet proposal.

As you will appreciate, it is necessary that all requests for advice on Cabinet proposals be dealt with promptly to ensure that proposals can be placed on the Cabinet Agenda within reasonable timeframes and that, where applicable, the drafting of bills is not delayed.

It would also assist in the maintenance of confidentiality of Cabinet papers, if Ministers could ensure that the title of the Minute and Minute Number is shown on all correspondence e.g.

  • Dear Mr. ....
  • Proposed ......
  • Cabinet Minute No. .......

Additionally, I want to emphasise that all documents (Minutes, advices etc) must be delivered by hand to the Branch Head, Cabinet Secretariat, The Cabinet Office, Level 6, State Office Block.

I should be pleased if all officers in your administration who are involved in the preparation, and delivery, of Cabinet documents are made aware of the above requirements.

Yours sincerely

Nick Greiner
