Lobbying
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent guidance the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments has provided to special envoys on lobbying.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The Business Rules apply to Ministers and Crown servants. The Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA) provides advice on applications for advice from Crown servants of grade SCS3 and above, and former ministers.
Special envoys are made via a direct ministerial appointment and are not ministerial or civil service roles.
