Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the answer of 19 March 2026, to Question 116770, whether Cabinet Office's Direct Ministerial Appointments portal entries on gov.uk should be amended once the Direct Ministerial Appointment leaves their post.

The responsibility for the publication of information on Direct Ministerial Appointments on the announcement portal rests with individual sponsor departments. The primary function of the portal is to bring together, into a central resource, announcements of new Direct Ministerial Appointments from across government. While the portal records the expected length of term of individual new appointments, it does not record actual end dates for those appointments that come to an end. Questions about the status of individual appointments would be for sponsor departments.
