Debate between Kit Malthouse and Mike Kane

Thursday 14th July 2022 Commons Chamber

[Mike Kane (Wythenshawe and Sale East) (Lab)]

14. Whether he is taking steps to appoint an independent adviser on Ministers’ interests.

[The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Kit Malthouse)]

The Government were sorry to receive Lord Geidt’s resignation and are grateful for his work in the role. Any future appointment will need to be a matter for the new Administration, given that the adviser is a personal adviser to the Prime Minister and is appointed for a five-year fixed term.
