"I get the example that the Minister talks about, but I think he misunderstands or perhaps misappreciates how the retail investor thinks. They do not necessarily think, “If I put £1,000 in now, in 20 years’ time it will be worth this.” They think, “If I put £1,000 in now, …..."Kit Malthouse - View Speech

Written Question
Thursday 10th October 2024
Asked by:
Kit Malthouse (Conservative - North West Hampshire)
Question
to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what (a) meetings and (b) communications via electronic messaging (i) he and (ii) his special advisers have had with representatives of Arden Strategies.
Answered by Andrew Western
- Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)
Details of Ministers’ meetings with external organisations and individuals are published quarterly in arrears on GOV.UK.
Special Advisers are required to comply with the Special Adviser Code of Conduct at all times and are required to make declarations on meetings with senior media figures in line with published transparency guidance.
Where a Special Adviser accompanies their Minister to an official meeting with a senior media figure, the Special Adviser’s attendance does not need to be separately recorded as the Minister will be the main attendee.
Where an ‘informal’ lobbying approach is granted time or resource by Government, it should result in a diarised engagement and therefore be recorded.
