Senior Salaries Review Body: Public Appointments

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 20 November 2025UIN 90747

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Cabinet Office news story of 5 August entitled "Extension of Generalist Member to the Senior Salaries Review Body", whether Pippa Greenslade was reappointed by open and fair competition; and what the (a) status and (b) cost of the competition to appoint such members to the Senior Salaries Review Body is.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

Pippa Greenslade was appointed through a fair and open competition in 2019. Her second term as Generalist Member of the Senior Salaries Review Body was extended by 12 months, ending on 1 June 2026. Extensions do not require an open competition. The majority of the Cabinet Office’s public appointments are delivered internally; staff and administrative costs are absorbed within the department's existing budget.
