Department’s decision on application
You should not draw on (disclose or use for the benefit of yourself or your prospective client or employer or their subsidiaries partners or clients) any information available to you from your time in Crown Service which could reasonably be perceived to give them an unfair advantage over competitors. You should not make use, directly or indirectly, of your Government and/or Crown Service contacts, or contacts developed during Crown Service in other Governments or organisations, to influence policy or secure funding or business on behalf of yourself or your prospective client or employer or their subsidiaries partners or clients for twelve months from your last day in Crown Service. This does not preclude routine contact on matters aligned with Government policy. You should not provide advice to any company or organisation on the terms of, or with regard to the subject matter of, a bid or contract relating directly to the work of the MOD or its trading funds for twelve months from your last day in Crown Service. You must not initiate contact with your Government and/or Crown Service contacts on behalf of yourself or your prospective client or employer or their subsidiaries partners or clients regarding matters relating to UK related defence business for twelve months from your last day in post. Maj Gen Gaunt should note this approval applies from the start of the terminal leave period and he must seek separate approval from his Command Chain to start work before the start of his terminal leave period.
