- Question
-
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what safeguards are in place to prevent government officials from betting on the (a) success and (b) timing of policy implementations.
- Answer
-
The Civil Service Code sets out the standards of behaviour expected of all civil servants to uphold the Civil Service’s core values, which are integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality.
The Code makes clear that civil servants must not misuse their official position, for example by using information acquired in the course of their official duties to further their private interests or those of others.
The Code is part of the contractual relationship between civil servants and their employer. Breaches of the Code can result in disciplinary action with potential sanctions extending to dismissal.
