Ministry of Justice: Public Appointments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what (a) direct ministerial and (b) other public appointments to her Department and associated bodies have (i) been (A) removed from their posts and (B) asked to resign and (ii) made since 4 July 2024.
Answered by Alex Davies-Jones
Since 4 July 2024:
i. (A and B) Departments do not routinely record and collect the reasons why appointees leave their positions, so departments are not in a position to answer this part of the question. Additionally, the reasons why an appointee has left their role is the appointee’s personal information and identifiable and would elicit GDPR considerations.
ii. Since 4 July 2024, 152 public appointments have been made. 144 of these are members of the Independent Monitoring Boards (139) and Lay Observers (5) and are exempt from publication. Details of the other 8 public appointments have been published on GOV.UK.
