Asked by: Mark Francois (Conservative - Rayleigh and Wickford)
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish the (a) name, (b) rank upon leaving and (c) year of joining company of all former (i) Army, (ii) Royal Navy and (iii) Royal Air Force officers at one star level or above who have left the service to work for Boeing over the last five years.
Answered by Andrew Murrison - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence)
We can confirm that, under Business Appointment rules, no One or Two Star military officers have reported to the Ministry of Defence that they have taken or are planning to take up a job with Boeing during the past five years. Please note that this is a voluntary process and former officers may have taken up posts without informing the Department.
Three and Four Star military personnel are required to inform the Government Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA) about the first job they intend to take after leaving the Armed Forces. This information is held by ACOBA and can be requested at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/advisory-committee-on-business-appointments.
The MOD started to monitor Three Star and Four Star Business Appointments from 2023-24. In the past year no officers at those grades have taken up a post with Boeing.
