What are the responsibilities of this post? The article gives us no clue... -- mcld ( talk) 11:05, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
The resposibilities have varied with the changing priorities of the Cabinet Office. Maude's gov.uk profile says:
The Minister for the Cabinet Office has overall responsibility for the policy and work of the department. Responsibilities include:
public sector efficiency and reform Civil Service issues industrial relations strategy in the public sector government transparency civil contingencies civil society cyber security UK statistics

I notice that the style (Minister for the Cabinet Office rather than Minister of the Cabinet Office or Minister of State for the Cabinet Office) is that of a constitutionally informal office with no legal existence. This is supported by the fact that every incumbent so far has simultaneously held a sinecure ( Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster from 1997 to 2009 and Paymaster-General thereafter).
Would it be worth mentioning this in the article? Robin S. Taylor ( talk) 23:27, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
I note that the page claims that Gove is at present the minister. This has not been confirmed, as the government’s press release said that he has been appointed Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, not Minister for the Cabinet Office. [1] There is, moreover, no confirmation from any other reputable source that he has been made the minister as far as I am concerned. I shall therefore revert these unsourced edits forthwith.
