Matthew Hancock

Former Ministers and former civil servants are subject to rules that cover the acceptance of all outside appointments and employment after they leave public office. Information about which former Ministers and former civil servants have failed to consult ACoBA before taking up an appointment is not held. It is individuals’ own responsibility to ensure that they comply with the requirements of these rules.
