What the document says

“Identifying these potentially problematic areas and assigning policy responsibilities to only one council where possible will help to speed up the policy-coordination process.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 38

The chapter observes that the three policy councils overlap on immigration and border security, on health care, energy and environment, and on trade and international economic policy, and says assigning each such area to only one council where possible will speed up coordination.

What the document actually says

“Identifying these potentially problematic areas and assigning policy responsibilities to only one council where possible will help to speed up the policy-coordination process.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 38
That sentence, in plain words

Find the subjects that two teams share. Give each one to just one team. That will speed things up.

What this is about

Three groups in the White House handle policy. Some subjects belong to more than one of them. That can cause delay and confusion. The chapter says each subject should be given to just one group.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
