Source: Institute for Government analysis of OCPA, 'Annual Report', 2011/12−2024/25Notes: Public appointees are appointees usually for a chair or non-executive director for a board of a public body, or for a member of an advisory committee. Data on political activity was not included in OCPA reports in 2015/16 and 2016/17. A change in OCPA methodology in 2023/24 meant that data was only available on whether political activity of any kind was declared.Get the dataEmbed Download image
