I remember attending a talk by some of those involved a couple of years ago where they stated that the air cover from the (then) minister responsible - Francis Maude - was what enabled the progress which was made, and that other ministers attempted to frustrate the process throughout.

I don't know if it was recorded or not, but if it was it's an interesting insight into getting things done in the UK government.

Oh yes, these things don't happen without air cover from a wise strongman (or strongwoman)
