The Civil Service Management Code is kept under regular review. The Government is committed to amending the Code in relation to the business appointment rules as set out in its response to the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee report: ‘Managing Ministers and officials conflict of interest: time for clearer values, principles and action’.
