Lord Sandys

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have any plans in the near future to implement the recommendations of the Committee on Political Activities of Civil Servants chaired by the late Sir Arthur Armitage.

The Minister of State, Privy Council Office, and Minister for the Arts (The Earl of Gowrie)

Agreement has been reached with the Civil Service trade unions on new rules which follow the majority recommendations of the Armitage Report (Cmnd 7057). These rules will be incorporated in the Civil Service Pay and Conditions of Service Code, a copy of which is available in the Library of the House.
