Ian Corfield
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the salary of Mr Ian Corfield was in his role as Director of Investment.
Answered by James Murray
Ian Corfield was appointed via Exception to the Civil Service Commission’s Recruitment Principles. The Department followed the established process to make the appointment and was granted the required approval from the Civil Service Commission. Ian Corfield was appointed on a short-term basis to carry out urgent work in support of the new government’s International Investment Summit in October. A full recruitment process could not have been completed in the time available.
Ian Corfield was appointed to the role of Director of Investment at the SCS2 pay band minimum in line with HMT policy on appointing external candidates into the Civil Service. He has since been appointed, unpaid, as a direct ministerial appointment.
