§ Mr. HoramCivil servants are permitted to undertake and be paid for work outside official time, for example, directorships, if there is no conflict of interest. Staff who disclose relevant interests to their managers do so on the understanding that the declaration, like all employment matters, is confidential between them and their employer. We do not hold central records of these declarations.
