'Report On The Civil Service (Special Advisers) Bill (NIA 97/11-15)' sets out the Committee for Finance and Personnel's consideration of the Civil Service (Special Advisers) Bill, a Private Members' Bill which was introduced to the Assembly in July 2012.

Some of the key issues examined include:

  • consideration of the needs of victims;

  • blanket disqualification versus individual assessment;

  • compatibility with other human rights requirements;

  • commitments under the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement and St Andrews Agreement; and

  • transparency on arrangements for special advisers.

There was no consensus in the evidence, and the Committee failed to reach a consensus on the provisions of the Bill.
