Regulation 11 Cessation of disqualification from eligibility for appointment to the IBCA

Subject to paragraph (2), where a person is disqualified under regulation 10(3)(c) or (f), they may, after the expiry of two years beginning with the date on which they were dismissed or, as the case may be, removed, apply in writing to the Minister for the Cabinet Office or the Secretary of State to remove the disqualification, and the Minister for the Cabinet Office or the Secretary of State may direct that the disqualification must cease.

Where the Minister for the Cabinet Office or the Secretary of State refuses an application to remove a disqualification, no further application may be made by that person until the expiry of the period of two years beginning with the date of the application and this paragraph applies to any subsequent application.

Where a person is disqualified under regulation 10(3)(d), the disqualification ceases on the expiry of the period of two years beginning on the date of the termination of their tenure of office but the Minister for the Cabinet Office or the Secretary of State may, on an application being made to the Minister for the Cabinet Office or the Secretary of State by that person, reduce the period of disqualification.
