answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2021 answer text <p>DCMS has not prevented former civil servants or special advisors from taking up a position at Camelot UK Lotteries Limited.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Upon leaving the civil service, all civil servants are subject to the Business Appointment Rules (BARs). BARs restrictions apply for two years after the last day of paid Civil Service employment for members of the Senior Civil Service and equivalents, including special advisers of equivalent standing. For those below the Senior Civil Service and equivalents, including special advisers of equivalent standing, the Rules continue to apply for one year after leaving the Civil Service, unless, exceptionally, the role has been designated as one where a longer period of up to two years will apply.</p><p> </p><p>The aim of the Rules is to avoid any reasonable concerns that:</p><p> </p><p>a. a civil servant might be influenced in carrying out his or her official duties by the hope or expectation of future employment with a particular firm or organisation, or in a specific sector; or</p><p> </p><p>b. on leaving the Civil Service, a former civil servant might improperly exploit privileged access to contacts in Government or sensitive information; or</p><p> </p><p>c. a particular firm or organisation might gain an improper advantage by employing someone who, in the course of their official duties, has had access to:</p><p> </p><p>i. information relating to unannounced or proposed developments in Government policy, knowledge of which may affect the prospective employer or any competitors; or</p><p>ii. commercially valuable or sensitive information about any competitors</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Mr John Whittingdale question first answered 27/04/2021 09:15:54 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale
