Summary of business appointments applications - Graham Dalton

Published 25 November 2015

Graham Dalton left his role as Chief Executive of the Highways Agency in June 2015.

1. Specialist Advisor, World Bank

Mr Dalton sought the Committee’s advice on a part-time, paid appointment with the World Bank as a Specialist Advisor.

The Prime Minister accepted the Committee’s recommendation that there was no reason why he should not take up this appointment, subject to the following conditions:

  • He should not draw on (disclose or use for the benefit of himself or the organisation to which this advice refers) any privileged information available to him from his time in Crown service; and
  • For two years from his last day in service, he should not become personally involved in lobbying the UK Government on behalf of the World Bank, or any of its partners or clients.

The letter containing the final advice was sent in November 2015 and the appointment was taken up that month.
