PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Ian Corfield (5 September 2024)

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether Ian Corfield's involvement with the Labour Party was declared to the Civil Service Commission before its approval of his appointment to the Civil Service.

Asked by:
Laura Trott (Conservative)

Ian Corfield was appointed on a short-term basis to carry out urgent work in support of the government’s International Investment Summit in October. A full recruitment process could not have been completed in the time available. The donation was included in the Chancellor's Register of Member's Interests. He has since been appointed, unpaid, as a direct ministerial appointment. The Civil Service Commission has published their letter to HM Treasury approving the appointment of Ian Corfield.
