Conclusion
On 14 June 2022, the Commissions published the areas where they sought the Houses agreement. This included that the Sponsor Body should be replaced, and that the sponsorship function, now termed client function, would be brought in-house to Parliament for these early programme stages. In practice, the Clerks of the two Houses would take over responsibility for the sponsor function as Accounting Officers, with the Delivery Authority unchanged. They proposed a two-tier governance structure including a client board, bringing together the two Commissions, and a small programme board as a joint board of the two Houses with delegated authority from the Client Board.39
