<p>Section 3 of the <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/536134/civil_service-nationality_rules_20_june__2016.pdf"
target="_blank">Civil Service Nationality Rules Guidance</a> sets out the criteria
for those posts which are, and those which are capable of being reserved for UK nationals
in the Civil Service. Reserved posts are generally those which, due to the sensitive
nature of the work, require special allegiance to the Crown such that they can only
be held by a UK national. Where a post falls within one of the categories listed in
paragraph 3.6. of this guidance, the Minister responsible for the department or agency
must consider whether it is necessary to reserve that post for UK nationals only.
A small number of <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/307931/AnnexE_Prescribed_Public_Bodies.pdf"
target="_blank">public sector bodies</a> are also able to apply the Civil Service
Nationality Rules, however the Cabinet Office does not hold information on the extent
that these rules are applied in these organisations.</p>
