Ian Corfield
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her donation from Ian Corfield was declared to the Cabinet Office prior to his appointment as a Director in her Department.
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.
