Sir Eric Pickles left his role as Secretary of State for Communities and Local 바카라 사이트 in May 2015.

1. Non-executive director, Leo Group Ltd

Sir Eric sought the Committee바카라 사이트™s advice about an appointment as a non-executive director of Leo Group Ltd, a recycling and waste management company.

When it considered this application the Committee took into account that Sir Eric proposed to take up an appointment in a sector that did not fall within his Ministerial remit at DCLG and had no link to his on-going 바카라 사이트al roles. The appointment is not likely to include any contact or dealings with DCLG or with 바카라 사이트 more generally.

The Committee advised Sir Eric that it could see no reason why he should not take up this appointment, subject to the following conditions:

  • That he should not draw on any privileged information available to him as a Minister or in any capacity in which he continues to represent the UK 바카라 사이트;

  • For two years from his last day in Ministerial office, he should not become personally involved in lobbying the UK 바카라 사이트 on behalf of Leo Group Ltd, its subsidiaries or its clients; and

  • He should make it clear in any activities he undertakes on behalf of Leo Group Ltd, its subsidiaries or clients that he is acting as their representative and not as a 바카라 사이트 representative.

The Committee wrote its advice letter to Sir Eric in March 2016 and the appointment was taken up in April 2016.
