The question

To ask the Solicitor General, whether changes have been made to Serious Fraud Office governance and oversight arrangements since July 2025.

Answered by Ellie Reeves

The SFO operates within a well-established governance framework, including accountability through the Attorney General’s superintendence functions and the appointment of Non-Executive Directors as set out in their Framework Agreement. Governance arrangements are kept under review in line with good practice, with the Framework Agreement being reviewed and updated in 2024.
