Not sure how long their review willtake but FM and Perm Sec keen to resolve quickly and to discuss on Tuesday.HI suspect we don’t have a policy on former civil servants. But we are looking at this in thecontext of the overall review of policies and the justification for having something aboutMinisters is the action that Parliament is taking in light of allegations about MSP conduct –which includes a recent SG Minister?Might be worth getting Nicky’s take on the question about civil servants [Redacted Private Secretary 1]SGHFrom: Hynd JS (James)Sent: 17 November 2017 10:55To: [Redacted Private Secretary 1]Subject: FW: Complaints against Current and Former Ministers[Redacted Private Secretary 1]To see.JamesSPJames HyndHead of Cabinet, Parliament and Governance edacted]From: [Redacted] [mailto:[Redacted]@cabinetoffice.gov.uk]Sent: 17 November 2017 10:48To: Hynd JS (James)Subject: Re: Complaints against Current and Former MinistersHi JamesThis feels very uncomfortable to be highlighting a process for complaints about Ministers andformer Ministers.[Redacted] doing a quick review for Jeremy on whether our processes have kept pace withdevelopments/concerns - would it be possible to wait for this?

Phase1FN30/YY092Of courseI can’t see a paper attachedCSent from my iPhoneOn 16 Nov 2017, at 22:27, "[Redacted]@gov.scot" [Redacted]@gov.scot wrote:H[Redacted]SGHAs we have just briefly discussed, I attach a draft paper setting out the process to befollowed in the event that we receive a complaint of sexual harassment against aformer Minister. (For completeness, the draft also describes the process for dealingwith a complaint against a current Minister.)As you will see, there are a couple of areas still in development where we have stillto decide between alternative options but hopefully overall you will get the gist ofwhat we are seeking to do.Leslie was keen that you had the chance to see the proposal a) for anythoughts/advice you could offer and b) to make sure that any approach of this sortwould not cause difficulties at your end of things.SPVery happy to discuss on the phone if that would be easier and quicker for you.
