Michael Anderson left his role as Director General for International and Immigration Policy at the Home Office in March 2015.
1. Senior Vice President of External Affairs, Government Relations and Security, Kosmos Energy
Michael Anderson sought advice on accepting a role at Kosmos Energy. Kosmos Energy is an international oil and gas exploration and production company. The appointment is paid and full time. In this role Mr Anderson will be involved in external affairs, government relations (US), communications and security.
The Prime Minister accepted the Committee’s recommendation that the application be approved, subject to the conditions that:
• Mr Anderson should not draw on privileged information available to him as a Crown servant; and
• For two years from his last day in Crown service, Mr Anderson should not become personally involved in lobbing the UK Government on behalf of his new employer, its parent company or its clients.
The letter containing the final advice was sent in March 2015 and he took up the role later that month.
