  • From the Chair
    From the Chair OFFICE OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON BUSINESS APPOINTMENTS G/7 Ground Floor, 1 Horse Guards Road SW1A 2HQ Telephone: 020 7271 0839 Email: [email protected] Website: http://www.Gov.uk/aCoba July 2016 You asked for the Committee’s advice about accepting a part-time, unpaid role as non- executive Chair of HCT Group, a social enterprise bus operator. HCT Group operates across London, Yorkshire, Humberside, the Southwest and the Channel Islands, and has a fleet of 500 vehicles. It provides a range of transport-related services including London red buses, social services transport, school transport, Park and Ride, and education and training. The Committee sought the opinion of your former department, BIS, which did not have any concerns regarding the propriety of this appointment, as they are not aware of any relationship with HCT. The Committee noted BIS’s view that any contact between HCT and Government is likely to be between the organisation and the Department for Transport, and would refer you to the terms of the lobbying restriction set out below. Taking into account the specific facts in this case, the Committee sees no reason why you should not take up the appointment, subject to the following conditions: ● That you should not draw on (disclose or use for the benefit of yourself or the organisation to which this advice refers) any privileged information available to you as a Minister; and ● For two years from your last day in ministerial office, you should not become personally involved in lobbying the UK Government on behalf of HCT Group.
