	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2015 answer text <p>The Green Book sets out that all new policies, programmes and projects, whether revenue, capital or regulatory, should be subject to comprehensive but proportionate assessment, wherever it is practicable, so as best to promote the public interest. Training and accreditation in the use of Green Book methodology is being extended across the public sector through the Better Business Cases programme, which aims to embed use of the best-practice five-case model in public service culture. In general it is not the Government’s policy to publish business cases, although exceptions are made when the Government considers publication to be of exceptional public interest.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 26/03/2015 13:24:00 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
