Rishi Sunak thinks it is 'obviously disappointing' that Sue Gray did not speak to the government investigation into her taking a job with Labour, Number 10 has said
Instead, it revealed that Ms Gray had not taken part in the Cabinet Office inquiry and that due to employee confidentiality could not provide any further details"at this stage".Mr Sunak's press secretary said on Wednesday:"The prime minister is not obviously involved in this process, but it is obviously disappointing that Sue Gray was offered to co-operate and has chosen not to do so.
"I think what is more disappointing is that Keir Starmer is in a position where he could clear up very quickly when contact was made by his office, or by him, to Sue Gray, to uphold the integrity of the Civil Service and ensure that it is transparent and open." ACOBA will make a suggestion for how long they think Ms Gray should take off before starting to work for Sir Keir, which Mr Sunak will then adjudicate - but neither he or ACOBA have the power to block an appointment.
