Mr. Alan Clark

The rules and standards relating to the acceptance of business appointments by former Crown servants are drawn up by the Cabinet Office and apply equally to all Crown servants, including civilian and service personnel in the Ministry of Defence. The basis of the current rules was laid down in 1937 and has been subject to regular review, the latest in 1989.
