Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, further to the answer of 3 June 2026, to Question 3339, on Special Advisers: Public Appointments, how many delivery advisers have been appointed to date, broken down by (a) special advisers, (b) Direct Ministerial Appointments, (c) civil servants appointed by exception, and (d) permanent civil servants appointed through open competition.

No such appointments have been made. However, the Department has considerable delivery experience and expertise and is looking to bolster this further through upcoming Non-Executive Board appointments. We also support the work the Cabinet Secretary is leading on the Future Civil Service programme to improve public service delivery.
