Lieutenant General Rollo left his role as Deputy Chief of Defence Staff in June 2013.

1. Director, The Military Mutual

Lieutenant General William Rollo sought the committee’s advice to take up employment with The Military Mutual Ltd, a company offering personal insurance policies to serving military personnel, veterans and reservists, based in London.

The Committee noted that the appointment is likely to include contact with his former department, as in his previous role he had responsibility for injury and life insurance schemes and providers, and The Military Mutual may offer similar cover in the future.

The Prime Minister has accepted the Committee’s recommendation that the application be approved subject to the following conditions;

  • Lieutenant General Rollo should not draw on privileged information available to him from his time in Crown Service; and

  • for two years from his last day of service he should not become personally involved in lobbying the UK Government on behalf of his new employers or its clients.

The letter containing the final decision was sent in June 2014 and he took up the role in July 2014.
