Who works in the Cabinet Office?
The Cabinet Office is staffed by civil servants, who are non-political government employees. They provide expert advice and support to ministers, including the Prime Minister and the Cabinet. Their job is to ensure the smooth running of government, helping to implement policies and manage the country's affairs, like the new No. 10 division Andy Burnham proposes.
