Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the processes for the recruitment of Seema Jamil O’Neil (1) to the staff of Accounting Standards Board, and (2) to the post of Executive Director of the UK Endorsement Board, in 2021 were subject to (a) public advertising, and (b) open competition.
The Government does not hold information relating to the recruitment of staff to the UK Accounting Standards Board which was a Board of the FRC and ceased operating in 2012. All permanent posts for staff recruited to the Secretariat of the UK Endorsement Board are subject to public advertising and open competition.
