UK reforms speed hiring for top posts, increase transparency in prime ministerial appointments.
The UK government has updated its public appointments code to speed up hiring for key roles at institutions like the BBC, Bank of England, and British Museum, allowing ministers to bypass full competitions in urgent cases after consulting the public appointments commissioner.
For the first time, a full list of prime ministerial appointments—including those at the Tate and information commissioner—is being published to boost transparency.
The reforms, aimed at attracting top talent and supporting national renewal, maintain ministerial authority to reject panel recommendations or appoint candidates without competition, though such decisions must now be publicly justified.
Over 4,000 public appointees currently serve across major bodies like the Environment Agency and Care Quality Commission.
