The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the Covid Corruption Commissioner will be a direct Ministerial appointment.

Answered by Darren Jones

The government will shortly appoint a Covid Corruption Commissioner - this follows an open competition that closed on 30 September. The details can be found at https://apply-for-public-appointment.service.gov.uk/roles/8362?titleSearch=&bodySearch=&regulated=&bodyJustice=&remunerated=&status=open&sort=openingAt%3Adesc#attachments

The Commissioner will lead work to recover public funds from companies that took unfair advantage of government schemes during the Covid-19 pandemic.
