Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will provide a copy of the advice provided by his Department to Emma Stanton, former Director for Supplies and Innovation, before she took up private sector employment with Oxford Nanopore.

Emma Stanton was advised of conditions before she took up employment with Oxford Nanopore, which are in relation to Civil Service business appointment rules and are which are commensurate with the short length of time she was working for NHS Test and Trace.

These related to restrictions on lobbying of the United Kingdom Government and related commercial activities and a reminder on the use of privileged information gained in her time at NHS Test and Trace.

A copy of the advice, redacted to remove personal information, is attached.
