The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what (a) direct ministerial and (b) other public appointments to his 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 Daniel Zeichner

No direct ministerial appointees have been removed or asked to resign from their post since 4 July 2024. Two public appointees have been removed from post since 4 July. The reasons why an appointee has left their role is the appointee’s personal information and identifiable and would elicit GDPR considerations.

All appointments, including those made since 4 July 2024 are routinely published on GOV.UK.
