| Synopsis: |
The Chair of ACOBA is one of the posts agreed to be suitable for pre-appointment hearings because of its "important role in ensuring public trust in government by regulating exit from government". ACOBA advises the Prime Minister and others on the application of the Rules on the Acceptance of Outside Appointments by Crown Servants (also known as the 'Business Appointment Rules') to very senior Crown servants. The Rules set out the circumstances in which civil servants, diplomats, members of the armed forces and others need to obtain Government permission to take up outside appointments within two years of leaving the service of the Crown. The Advisory Committee also provides advice to Ministers and former Ministers looking to take up outside appointments within two years of leaving office. Ministers are required to seek the Committee's advice for appointments, other than unpaid posts in non-commercial organisations, under the Ministerial Code. The Ministerial Code states that Ministers are "expected" to follow the Committee's advice. |
