Ian Corfield

Asked by Laura TrottConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 10 September 2024UIN 4424

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will publish the exceptional appointment form for Ian Corfield that was submitted to the Civil Service Commission.

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. The donation was included in the Chancellor's Register of Member's Interests. He has since been appointed, unpaid, as a direct ministerial appointment. The Civil Service Commission has published their letter to HM Treasury approving the appointment of Ian Corfield.
