Boris Johnson blasted over silence on 11 key reports including social care and HS2

Boris Johnson has been slammed for his failure to publish at least 11 reports or reviews promised over the last year.

The Liberal Democrats claimed the PM was too busy pursuing Brexit to tackle the hard work of governing Britain.

An independent review of HS2 and a document outlining the government’s stance on social care are among the reports that remain unpublished.

The social care green paper has been delayed five times since it was originally due to be published in summer 2017.

But Health Secretary Matt Hancock insisted
last week that the green paper would be released
in the New Year.

Ed Davey warns the list illustrates how the Conservatives are failing to tackle biggest issues (PA)

Ed Davey, acting leader of the Lib Dems, told the Sunday Mirror: “This shameful list of incompetence shows just how badly the Conservatives are failing to tackle the biggest issues.

“They may try to push these promises into the long grass but we will not let people be forgotten.”

The government insists that its response to reports will resume.
