Non-executive directors’ personal data, including those relating to personal taxation or status, are protected by the UK General Data Protection Regulation. Collection of personal data on non-dom status is not routinely collected and is generally not required for making public appointments. If any such data was held it could only be published if doing so was in compliance with data protection law. Non-executive board members are not employees of Defra and act in an advisory capacity. Data relating to public appointments are covered by the Public Appointments Privacy Statement found here https://apply-for-public-appointment.service.gov.uk/privacy. A register of Defra board members’ interests is published on gov.uk and is updated regularly, this can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/defra-register-of-board-members-interests/defra-register-of-board-members-interests-2023.
