<blockquote><p> </p><p>The post of Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is a Civil
Service appointment. The process is conducted by the independent Civil Service Commission
in line with statute and the Government has no plans to change this. The Commission
appoints a panel to carry out the process. In recent competitions, the panel has consisted
of the Cabinet Secretary, a senior Civil Service Commissioner, a non-executive director
from the relevant department and an external stakeholder - which in the case of the
DPP might be a Court of Appeal judge.</p><p> </p></blockquote>
