Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to have access to information about which government
departments are responsible for which government agencies, quangos
and other body's as well as ministerial responsibilities. I have
been told by someone in the Cabinet Office that there is a family
tree that connects all the different parts of HM Government
together and shows you who is responsible for what. Can you confirm
if such a document exists and provide me with a copy?
Yours faithfully,
Clive Room

departments, Executive Agencies and Government Offices for the Regions

Hi Clive - you've left an annotation, which won't go to the public authority. You need to send a follow up message for it to go to the authority.

Dear Sir or Madam,
As a follow up message, I have been told that a family tree type
document, rather than just a list of government departments, exists
and makes it easier to make the connections and understand who
reports to who at a glance. This is the document I am looking for,
could you please help me to find it?
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Kind regards Clive Room
Yours sincerely,
Cabinet Office

Dear Mr Room,
Thank you for your email. I am not aware of the family type tree
document you describe. I have spoken to a number of colleagues who are
also not aware of such a document.
I am afraid I cannot be of more help other than to direct you to the
links I gave you on my previous email.
Kind Regards,
FOI Team
