Asked by John GlenConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 31 July 2024UIN 1218

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the Prime Minister's chief of staff will have powers to direct civil servants.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff is a political appointment and therefore does not have management responsibilities for civil servants. The government has no plans to introduce new powers for the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff to direct civil servants.
