"The Commission has issued guidelines setting out the ethical concerns that need to be considered when public servants, including agency heads, become involved, in their official capacity, in helping to explain and implement Government policies and programmes.
The guidelines implement the Government’s policy commitment not to use public servants in Government advertising unless that role is essential in the communication of an important message on an issue such as public health or similar"
