Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to page 31 of the 2013 report Civil Service Reform Plan: One Year On, whether it is their policy to appoint all new permanent secretaries on fixed-term tenures; and whether they will publish (1) all permanent secretary-level appointments, (2) whether those appointments are fixed-term and (3) the date on which those appointments expire.

It remains the case that Permanent Secretaries are appointed on fixed term tenures and that their appointments are published on GOV.uk.
