Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made any declarations of interest to the Permanent Secretary of his Department relating to the direct appointments he has made.

There is an established process in place for the declaration and management of interests held by ministers. This ensures that steps are taken to avoid or mitigate any actual or perceived conflicts of interest.

A statement covering relevant Ministers’ interests is published on a quarterly basis following advice from the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards and the Department’s Permanent Secretary. The most recent list of interests was published in November 2024.
