Thea Rogers left her role as Chief of Staff to the Chancellor in July 2016
1. Deliveroo
Ms Rogers sought advice from the Committee about on taking up a role with Deliveroo.
When considering this application the Committee noted that it was a full-time, paid role working on communication and policy for Deliveroo.
The Committee took into consideration that Ms Rogers had no official dealings with Deliveroo while in office and that, whilst her role as adviser to the Chancellor involved some policy discussions, HMT confirmed she would not have had access to commercially sensitive information and there had been no significant overlap between the policy areas she worked on and Deliveroo.
The Permanent Secretary accepted the Committee’s advice that in accordance with the Government’s Business Appointment Rules, the appointment be subject to the following conditions:
- she should not draw on any privileged information available to her from her time in Crown service;
- for two years from her last day in service, she should not become personally involved in lobbying the UK Government on behalf of Deliveroo or its clients.
The letter containing the final advice was sent in December 2016 and the appointment was taken up in January 2017.
