Advisory Committee on Business Appointments

The Advisory Committee on Business Appointments is a non-departmental public body in the UK, which was set up in 1975 to provide advice on applications from the most senior Crown servants who wish to take up outside appointments after they leave Crown service. Since 1995 it has also provided advice to former Ministers on their employment in the two years after leaving office. The committee is chaired by Lord Lang.[1]

It was branded "toothless" in April 2017 by the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Select Committee.[2]
