Sian Jarvis is group director of communications and public affairs at Asda, a position she took up in November 2011 after 12 years at the UK's Department for Health (DoH). She had been the DoH's director-general for communications since 2004. [1], Daily Mail.co.uk, 13 November 2011, acc Nov 2011 </ref>
Revolving door
According to the Daily Mail, Jarvis left the DoH 'amid rumours of infighting as Health Secretary Andrew Lansley attempted to introduce reforms'.
- Last night an Asda spokeswoman said the Cabinet Office had cleared Ms Jarvis’s appointment.
She said: ‘Sian’s appointment has been scrutinised by the business appointments committee in the normal way. It is satisfied there is no conflict of interest and has cleared her.
- ‘There is a two-year ban on lobbying Ministers that applies to all senior civil servants, which safeguards against any potential conflicts.’
