PROFESSIONALISM AND VALUE OF THE BRITISH CIVIL SERVICE

Early day motion 925, tabled 8 February 2018 by Daniel Zeichner (Labour). Signed by 36 members.

That this House notes that the strength of the UK Civil Service lies in its political impartiality and its responsibility to provide objective advice to Ministers without fear or favour; recognises the contribution civil servants make to the good of the country; further recognises the important role that independent advice and expertise plays in informing Ministers and Parliament; and condemns any attempts to call into question the integrity of the Civil Service or to involve civil servants in political arguments.
