A commitment is tracked here only if the government made it itself, it has a number, a date or a clear yes-or-no in it, and an official source can test it. 18 are tracked: 11 met or on track, 1 in progress, 2 at risk and 4 off track or not met. More are added as they are verified.
Judged on the running figures
These commitments have a number that official statistics update, so the verdict can change whenever new figures land.
