Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation (the Committee's words)
Given the lack of available evidence and data, the Cabinet Office, in considering the government response to the Public Administration Select Committee Report on the Business Appointment Rules, should undertake a best practice post-implementation review of the Rules including consideration of the extent to which post – public employment restrictions should be applied to all public office holders and whether a risk based approach can and should be adopted to the implementation of the Rules. 8
