Senior Civil Service (Accountability and Appointment) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill aims to change how the UK's most senior civil servants (top officials who advise ministers) are appointed and held responsible. It would likely introduce stricter rules about who can be hired for these roles and make these officials answer more directly to Parliament for their actions.

Presented by Giles Watling.
