The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the Answer of 2 May 2025 to Question 48042 on Great British Energy: Staff, if he will publish the declaration of interests of each of those appointments; and which of those appointments are regulated public appointments.

Answered by Michael Shanks

All appointments were direct appointments, based on Great British Energy’s (GBE) set-up phase needs.

All appointees have declared their interests to the Department as part of the appointment process. The Department and GBE are both committed to transparent and accountable governance and will publish expectations to this end in GBE's framework document later this year.
