Written Question
Fujitsu and Post Office: Public Appointments
Wednesday 24th January 2024

Asked by: Lord Mann (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government which board members of the Post Office Limited or Fujitsu have been appointed to roles in the public sector since 2005.

Answered by Baroness Neville-Rolfe - Shadow Minister (Treasury)

The Government is not responsible for and does not hold information on appointments made across the whole of the public sector, which would include appointments to local authorities, education establishments, the NHS and other public bodies. The Cabinet Office holds data on appointments made to bodies listed in the Public Appointments (No. 2) Order in Council 2023, as well as some other categories of public sector roles. Public appointments are announced on GOV.UK.
