  • Brexit Interview: Raoul Ruparel

    Brexit Interview: Raoul Ruparel

    Raoul Ruparel Special Advisor to the Prime Minister on Europe August 2018 – July 2019 Special Advisor to the Secretary of State for the Department for Exiting the EU October 2016 – July 2018 Co-Director, Open Europe May 2015 – October 2016 11 August 2020 The renegotiation and the referendum UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE): How influential, do you think, Open Europe was in shaping David Cameron’s approach to the Bloomberg speech and the renegotiation? Raoul Ruparel (RR): I think we were fairly influential. Our chairman at the time, Lord Leach, who sadly passed away, was quite close to Cameron, especially on EU issues, and so had quite a lot of say in some of the parts of the Bloomberg speech. Obviously, Mats Persson also had some input to the speech and then went to work for Cameron on the reform agenda. That being said, before Mats got into Number 10 under Cameron, I think a lot of it was already set. The ambition was already set relatively low in terms of the type of reform Cameron was going to aim for. So I think there was some influence. Certainly, I think Open Europe had an impact in trying to bridge that path between the Eurosceptics and those who wanted to see Brexit, and were in that camp from quite early on, and the wider Page 1/30 public feeling of concern over immigration and other aspects. Yes, there certainly was something there in terms of pushing the Cameron Government in the direction of reform. I don’t think it’s something that Open Europe necessarily created, I think they were looking for something in that space and we were there to fill it.

    Office of the Advisory Committee On

    OFFICE OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON BUSINESS APPOINTMENTS Room G/8, 1 Horse Guards Road, London, SW1A 2HQ Telephone: 020 7271 0839 Email: [email protected] Website: http://www.gov.uk/acoba Alex Chisholm Permanent Secretary and Chief Operating Officer for the Civil Service By email 14 May 2021 Dear Mr Chisholm, Thank you for your reply to my letter of 13 April 2021. I found the response helpful, particularly your confirmation that civil servants must seek permission before accepting any outside employment which might affect their work either directly or indirectly as set out in the Civil Service Management Code; and applying the principles set out in government’s Business Appointment Rules. The Cabinet Secretary, in his letter to the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, also helpfully summarised the process around managing conflicts of interest and identified several areas of improvement. I support much of this work. However, the lack of transparency remains a significant concern here. Mr Crothers was advised that he could take up an outside role whilst he remained in office - in line with the process set out in your letter and by the Cabinet Secretary1. Yet, neither the appointment, nor the process for managing conflicts was transparent. This means there was no publicly available information to demonstrate: ● if potential conflicts were considered and if any action was taken to mitigate any potential risks to the integrity of government; nor ● why an application to ACOBA was not considered necessary. The critical question is whether the government will introduce the transparency necessary to provide assurance around this process: 1 And therefore in line with the Civil Service Management Code; and applying the principles set out in government’s Business Appointment Rules and the Civil Service Code.

    Clare Moriarty Permanent Secretary at the Department for Exiting the European Union April 2019 – January 2020 Permanent Secretary at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs August 2015 – April 2019 5 February 2021 Defra before the referendum UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE): You came to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) from the Department for Transport (DfT) in mid-2015, when Liz Truss was Secretary of State. What did you make of the state of Defra when you arrived there? It had been subject to pretty significant cuts under the Coalition. What sort of department did you think you’d moved into? Clare Moriarty (CM): I started at the beginning of August. It was the middle of the holidays, and a lot of people were away, but it felt to me that the department wasn’t functioning well. The relationship between my predecessor and the Secretary of State, Liz Truss, had been difficult and there was a lack of proper challenge in the system. Liz was very keen to downsize the Department dramatically, ahead of going through a process of thinking about what the Department was going to do in the future, how it needed to be organised, and how many people you needed. Before I’d even started at Defra, the HR team came to see me in DfT and told me that Liz wanted to have a voluntary Page 1/30 redundancy exercise to reduce numbers by 40%, and I had to say ‘No, we’re actually not going to do it like that’.
