Civil Service Board
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, for what reason the Civil Service Board has ceased operation; and whether its functions have been taken over by (a) a new or (b) pre-existing body.
Answered by Georgia Gould
Following the appointment of the current Cabinet Secretary, a review of the Civil Service Governance arrangements took place, to identify what steps could be taken to make it simpler and more effective. As a consequence of the review, CSB ceased operations in January 2025.
CSB’s functions are undertaken by a combination of the Head of Department, the People Board and the Civil Service Operations Board.
