This is expected to be the Committee’s final evidence session of its inquiry into the Business Appointment Rules: the rules that govern the take-up of jobs by former ministers and crown servants.
Particular issues to be explored may include:
- The work of the ACoBA and the operation of the Business Appointment Rules;
- the remit and powers of ACoBA in ensuring compliance with the Business Appointment Rules; and
- how the Government can recruit experts to serve as ministers, and utilise outside expertise in the Civil Service, without giving rise to concern over propriety and undue influence.
Monday 26 March 2012
Committee Room 8
Witnesses:
At 4pm
- Lord Lang of Monkton, Chair of the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments
