There are no plans to introduce new legislation stopping ex-government employees from taking up company directorships.
That’s according to the Chief Minister - who says he understands concerns, but feels legislating against it isn’t necessary.

Allan Bell explained that it would be unacceptable for confidential knowledge to be used to the detriment of government.
He says he's not come across any problems so far:
