Okay. So, what have you learnt from the review of procurement and contract management arrangements across the Commission, and what action have you undertaken to relieve capacity pressures and address risks of gaps in controls?

Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Llawlyfrau Cabinet a Chod y Gweinidogion
Okay, and Dr Goodall, my final question for you: do you think the ministerial code that we have in place at the moment is sufficient, or do you think it needs work?
2 Hydref 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Llawlyfrau Cabinet a Chod y Gweinidogion
Okay. Thank you, Dr Goodall. What role, if any, do special advisers play in providing advice to the First Minister and/or, indeed, civil servants about investigations into complaints about breaches of the ministerial code?
2 Hydref 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Llawlyfrau Cabinet a Chod y Gweinidogion
Okay, thank you very much. Before 2021 the ministerial code gave no role to the Permanent Secretary and other officials for the investigation of breaches of the ministerial code. Versions of the code between 2007 and 2016 specifically said, and I quote, 'it…

Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Llawlyfrau Cabinet a Chod y Gweinidogion
Okay. So, Permanent Secretary, I just want to ask you, in relation to both of the cases that I just stated, the director of propriety and ethics—were they acting as an independent adviser on both of the cases that I just referred to?
2 Hydref 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Llawlyfrau Cabinet a Chod y Gweinidogion
Okay, thank you for clarifying that for me. On 23 May the director of propriety and ethics told the committee that he provided advice over the phone about a potential breach of the ministerial code by the then economy Minister. He then said that that advice…
