Meetings Held by Ex-Royal Officials (Years 2014-2015 to 2017-2018)
The Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA) plays a crucial role in regulating the appointments and employment of former Crown servants. Here's a breakdown of how it operates:
- The Committee provides advice on new appointments or employment for former Crown servants. This advice is specific to the new positions and may include conditions to ensure ethical and impartial conduct.
- Until an appointment or employment is taken up or announced, the details remain confidential. The Committee's advice is not applicable to appointments that have not been made public.
- The Committee imposes conditions on appointments or employment for former Crown servants. These conditions are designed to prevent any potential conflicts of interest and to maintain the integrity of the public service.
- The Committee releases information about appointments only when they have been taken up or announced. This means that the public record of appointments begins once they become official.
- It's important to note that the absence of an appointment from the Committee's records does not necessarily mean that advice has not been sought or provided.
- The Committee's advice and conditions are not disclosed for all appointments. Some information may be kept confidential to protect individual privacy or for other sensitive reasons.
- The Committee does not necessarily list all appointments, even if advice has been given. The decision to disclose an appointment is made on a case-by-case basis.
- Information on appointments taken up before 2014-15 can be found in the relevant ACOBA annual report. However, for appointments taken up after this period, the information is not included in the Committee's annual reports.
- The Committee's advice is not published for appointments that have not been taken up or announced. This is to respect the confidentiality of the process until an appointment becomes official.
- The Advisory Committee on Business Appointments publishes advice only when informed that an appointment has been taken up or announced. This policy ensures transparency and accountability in the appointments process.
