The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the appointment of Ian Corfield as Director of Investment was through open competition.

Answered by James Murray

Ian Corfield was appointed on a short-term basis to carry out urgent work in support of the government’s International Investment Summit in October. A full recruitment process could not have been completed in the time available. He has since been appointed, unpaid, as a direct ministerial appointment.
