Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which Minister has responsibility for the COP26 Private Finance Hub; how many staff work in the Hub; how many of those staff are seconded from Departments, organisations or bodies outside of his Department; and if he will list those Departments, organisations or bodies from which those staff are seconded.
The Treasury is supporting preparations for COP26 across a range of policy areas, including private finance. There is a team of 19 staff, drawn from secondees across the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy, as well as HM Treasury officials working on this area. The team reports to the Chancellor and Treasury ministers.
