Treasury: Public Appointments and Recruitment

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will publish the exception application form sent to the Civil Service Commission for the appointment of (a) Ian Corfield and (b) Oliver Newton.

Answer

Ian Corfield was appointed on a short-term basis to carry out urgent work in support of the government’s International Investment Summit in October. A full recruitment process could not have been completed in the time available. He has since been appointed, unpaid, as a direct ministerial appointment. The Civil Service Commission has published their letter to HM Treasury approving the appointment of Ian Corfield.

The Treasury does not comment on individual appointments at Deputy Director level or below.
