USPL-15

Accepted Implemented November 2021

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

Recommendation

ACOBA rulings should be directly binding on applicants.

Addressed to

Cabinet Office

Government response

The Government is clear that the Business Appointment Rules must be binding on all who are subject to them. The Government's proposal is that for those on new terms and conditions, the proposal will change from one where they apply to ACoBA for advice to one where they consult the Rules and their contract for the resulting conditions. In such cases, it will be the contractual clauses - rather than ACoBA rulings - that will be binding on individuals.
