Public Sector: Business Interests
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the business appoint rules apply to Crown Servants who work for regulators who are not classed as Civil Servants.
Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds
Public bodies operating at arm’s length from the government, including regulators who are staffed by Crown servants who are not civil servants (and who do not otherwise fall directly under the Business Appointment Rules) are expected to implement their own equivalent processes to manage potential conflicts of interest, with these being tailored to their specific organisational context.
