Conclusion
This Committee has previously raised the issue of consultants and the sorts of work they are hired to perform in Government. There is nothing unusual in a large organisation hiring external consultants to fulfil specialist roles or provide expertise in supporting the work of the Civil Service. Lex Greensill was recruited to provide advice on an area of prospective policy in which he could legitimately claim expertise and which the Civil Service lacked.
