Public Appointments: Disclosure of Information

Asked by Kevin HollinrakeConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 7 April 2025UIN 42472

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether every regulated public (a) appointment and (b) re-appointment is published on the Announcement section of the website entitled Apply for a public appointment; and how long each announcement page remains on that website.

Answered by Georgia Gould

All regulated appointment and reappointment announcements should be published on the Apply for a public appointment digital service, unless the appointing department determines that the appointment is of a sensitive nature.

All announcements remain on the service indefinitely and are archived within the National Archives catalogue.
