The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 23 September 2024 to Question 5031 on Senior Civil Servants: Recruitment, whether he made an assessment of the potential merits of externally advertising the five mission delivery board civil service roles.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The internal appointment of Directors General (DGs) as Mission Senior Responsible Officers was undertaken as part of the standard management of roles within the DG workforce. As such, there was no need to assess the merits of advertising these roles externally.
