(a) the Secret Intelligence Service;

(b) the Security Service;

(c) the Government Communications Headquarters;

(d) the Northern Ireland Civil Service. [146]

(3) Further, this Chapter—

(a) does not apply in relation to the making, outside the United Kingdom, of selections of persons who are not members of the civil service of the State for appointment to that service for the purpose only of duties to be carried out wholly outside the United Kingdom;

(b) does not apply in relation to the appointment of a person to the civil service of the State who was selected for the appointment as mentioned in paragraph (a);

(c) does not apply to the civil service of the State so far as it consists of persons—

(i) who were appointed to the civil service of the State as mentioned in paragraph (b), and

(ii) all of whose duties are carried out wholly outside the United Kingdom.[147]

(4) In this Chapter references to the civil service—

(a) are to the civil service of the State excluding the parts mentioned in subsections (2) and (3)(c);

(b) are to be read subject to subsection (3)(a) and (b);

and references to civil servants are to be read accordingly. [148]

22 General principles of the Civil Service

(1) Civil servants are servants of the Crown and owe a duty of loyal service to the Crown as their employer. [149]

(2) Civil servants must be, and must be seen to be, honest and impartial in the exercise of their duties. They must not allow their judgement or integrity to be compromised in fact or by reasonable implication. In particular:

(a) civil servants must not misuse information which they acquire in the course of their official duties, nor without authority disclose official information which has been communicated in confidence within Government, or received in confidence from others. They must not seek to frustrate the policies, decisions or actions of Government either by declining to take, or abstaining from, action which flows from ministerial decisions or by unauthorised, improper or premature disclosure outside the Government of any information to which they have had access as civil servants;

(b) civil servants must not take part in any political or public activity which compromises, or might be seen to compromise, their impartial service to the Government of the day or any future Government;

(c) civil servants must not misuse their official position or information acquired in the course of their official duties to further their private interests or those of others. Conflicts of interest may arise from financial interests and more broadly from official dealings with, or decisions in respect of, individuals who share a civil servant's private interests (for example freemasonry, membership of societies, clubs and other organisations, and family). Where a conflict of interest arises, civil servants must declare their interest to senior management so that senior management can determine how best to proceed; and

(d) civil servants must not receive gifts, hospitality or benefits of any kind from a third party which might be seen to compromise their personal judgement or integrity. [150]

23 Ministers and Civil Servants

(1) Ministers must uphold the political impartiality of the civil service, and not ask civil servants to act in any way which would conflict with the Civil Service Code. [151]

(2) Ministers have a duty to give fair consideration and due weight to informed and impartial advice from civil servants, as well as to other considerations and advice in reaching policy decisions, and should have regard to the Principles of Scientific Advice to Government. [152]

(3) Heads of departments and the chief executives of executive agencies are appointed as Accounting Officers. This is a personal responsibility for the propriety and regularity of the public finances for which he or she is responsible; for keeping proper accounts; for the avoidance of waste and extravagance; and for the efficient and effective use of resources. Accounting Officers answer personally to the Committee of Public Accounts on these matters, within the framework of Ministerial accountability to Parliament for the policies, actions and conduct of their departments. [153]

(4) Accounting Officers have a particular responsibility to see that appropriate advice is tendered to Ministers on all matters of financial propriety and regularity and more broadly as to all considerations of prudent and economical administration, efficiency and effectiveness and value for money. If a Minister in charge of a department is contemplating a course of action which would involve a transaction which the Accounting Officer considers would breach the requirements of propriety or regularity, the Accounting Officer will set out in writing his or her objections to the proposal, the reasons for the objection and the duty to inform the Comptroller and Auditor General should the advice be overruled. [154]

(5) If the Minister decides nonetheless to proceed, the Accounting Officer will seek a written instruction to take the action in question. The Accounting Officer is obliged to comply with the instructions and send relevant papers to the Comptroller and Auditor General. A similar procedure applies where the Accounting Officer has concerns about whether a proposed course of action offers value for money. This notification process enables the Committee of Public Accounts to see that the Accounting Officer does not bear personal responsibility for the actions concerned. [155]

24 Management of the Civil Service

(1) The Minister for the Civil Service has the power to manage the civil service (excluding the diplomatic service). [156]

(2) The Secretary of State has the power to manage the diplomatic service. [157]

(3) The powers in subsections (1) and (2) include (among other things) power to make appointments. [158]

(4) But they do not cover national security vetting (and, accordingly, subsections (1) and (2) do not affect any power relating to national security vetting). [159]

(5) The agreement of the Minister for the Civil Service is required for any exercise of the power in subsection (2) in relation to—

(a) remuneration of civil servants (including compensation payable on leaving the civil service), or

(b) the conditions on which a civil servant may retire. [160]

(6) In exercising his power to manage the civil service, the Minister for the Civil Service shall have regard to the need to ensure that civil servants who advise Ministers are aware of the constitutional significance of Parliament and of the conventions governing the relationship between Parliament and Her Majesty's Government. [161]

25 The Civil Service Commission: composition and functions

(1) There is to be a body corporate called the Civil Service Commission ("the Commission"). [162]

(11) The other members of the Commission are to be Civil Service Commissioners appointed under subsections (12) to (19), below.[172]

(12) A Commissioner is appointed by Her Majesty on the recommendation of the Minister for the Civil Service. [173]

(a) as the servant or agent of the Crown, or

(b) as enjoying any status, immunity or privilege of the Crown. [181]

(21) The Commission's property is not to be regarded as property of, or held on behalf of, the Crown. [182]

(22) The Commission may do anything calculated to facilitate, or incidental or conducive to, the carrying out of any of its functions. [183]

(23) But the Commission may not borrow money except with the agreement of the Minister for the Civil Service. [184]

(24) Nothing in this section which specifies powers of the Commission limits the generality of subsection (22). [185]

(25) The Commission may establish committees. [186]

(26) A committee of the Commission may establish sub-committees. [187]

(27) Members of a committee or sub-committee may include persons who are not members of the Commission. [188]

(28) The Commission may regulate its own procedure, and the procedure of its committees and sub-committees, including quorum. [189]
