The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the answer of 2 February 2026 to Question 108242 on Senior Civil Servants: Recruitment, if he will publish any new guidance on the recruitment and retention of Senior Civil Servants.

There are no plans to publish internal-facing guidance to the public domain, as it constitutes HR-to-HR guidance designed for departments to integrate into their respective policies and processes.
