Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: Civil Servants

Asked by Mrs Kemi BadenochConservativeMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 7 October 2024UIN 2984

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether any of (a) her Parliamentary staff, (b) the Parliamentary staff of other Ministers and (c) Labour Party staff have joined her Department as civil servants, rather than special advisers, since the general election.

Answered by Alex Norris

It is the longstanding convention of government under successive administrations that we do not comment on matters relating to individual staff.

There are clear rules governing recruitment and appointment of civil service roles, which are regulated by the Civil Service Commission.
