Esther McVey, who attends Cabinet as a minister without portfolio, said civil servants should wear ‘standard design’ lanyards.
Downing Street denied that a Cabinet rift has opened up over a ban on civil servants wearing rainbow lanyards suggested by the so-called “common sense” minister.
Ms McVey, who attends Cabinet as a minister without portfolio, said civil servants should wear “standard design” lanyards – appearing to indicate that the colourway used to express support for LGBTQ+ issues should not be used. “It’s not going to be proscriptive in that sense. It will be an update on impartiality and how civil servants would be expected to behave to ensure that they are impartial and protected from politicisation – obviously the minister gave an example of that in her speech,” the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said.
The Number 10 official indicated the guidance would likely be published on Tuesday afternoon and that he was “not aware” of any recent changes having been made to it.
