The Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA), the body responsible for regulating the ‘revolving door’ between the public & private sector, reveals 604 post-government roles were taken up by 217 high-ranking civil servants, SPADS & ministers (January 2017 - June 2022).
Of these 604 roles, 177 (29%) had an overlap with the minister’s or official’s former policy area.
Nearly every issue of @PrivateEyeNews details some falling or other by the toothless ACOBA.
