The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people have been appointed to civil service positions without open competition in her Department since 4 July 2024; what their (a) job titles and (b) salary bands are; and on what basis each was appointed.

Answered by James Murray

Since 4 July 2024, 13 individuals have been appointed to Civil Service positions without open competition. Regarding the request for job titles and salary bands, the Treasury does not comment on individual appointments at Deputy Director level or below.

At Director level and above, 1 appointment has been made without competition since 4 July 2024.

The Director of Investment was appointed to the SCS2 pay band via Exception to the Civil Service Commission’s Recruitment Principles. The appointee has since been appointed, unpaid, as a direct ministerial appointment.
