Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will place in the Library of the House a copy of the terms and conditions and the appointment letter relating to Baroness Shafik's appointment as (1) Chair of the Victoria and Albert Museum, and (2) Chief Economic Advisor to the Prime Minister.

Baroness Shafik has been appointed to be the Chief Economic Adviser to the Prime Minister as a Direct Ministerial Appointment. This role is therefore subject to the Code of Conduct for Board Members of Public Bodies, which sets out requirements on political activity.

The management of relevant outside interests for this role has been agreed in line with relevant guidance and processes. Baroness Shafik will continue in her role as Chair of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
