Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government when monthly reporting of Ministerial data on gifts and hospitality will begin; what the gap will be between events each month and the publication of the details; when the Gov.uk platform containing such data will go live; and whether it will include senior officials and special advisers as well as Ministers.

This Government will introduce a register for ministers’ gifts and hospitality bringing publication of ministerial transparency data on a broadly equivalent basis to the parliamentary register.

Work on the new register is progressing and further details will be published in due course. Transparency data for ministerial meetings and overseas travel, special advisers and senior officials will continue to be published quarterly as it has been under previous administrations.
