Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what potential conflicts of interest Departmental officials have declared in each of the last five years.

Department of Transport employees are instructed that ‘if they should come into official contact with matters concerning a business organisation (including any professional practice) in which they knowingly have an interest then they must disclose the fact to their line manager, and follow any Departmental instructions regarding the management of such interest’.

During 2021 there have been no conflicts of interest declared for Senior Civil Servant Department officials.
