IfG response to Civil Service Commission consultation
Responding to the launch of the Civil Service Commission consultation on recruitment principles, which considers new guidance on the appointment of senior civil servants, IfG Fellow Akash Paun said:
“What’s being proposed represents an improvement on the current arrangements, but we believe ultimate responsibility should lie with the Secretary of State, who will have a closer working relationship with their Permanent Secretary than the Prime Minister.
"Combined with other steps to clarify accountability, such a move would enable better relationships between those at the top of government.”
