Lord Lang questioned about new rules on jobs for Ex-Ministers

• Public Administration Select Committee
• Listen to the meeting

This will be the first time the Committee has taken evidence from Lord Lang since his pre-appointment hearing in November 2009 and media coverage last March about retiring ex-ministers offering their services as lobbyists. This session takes place on Tuesday 8 February in Committee Room 21.

Witness:

• At 10.30 am
  Lord Lang of Monkton DL, Chair, Advisory Committee on Business Appointments.

Particular issues which may be considered include:

• ACoBA’s effectiveness in ensuring propriety over the future employment of former ministers and senior crown servants;
• the wider issue of lobbying and the so-called ‘revolving door’ between Whitehall and business; and 
• the recent revision of the Business Appointment Rules.
