Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government why, in the October edition of the List of Ministerial Responsibilities, the telephone numbers of private offices of ministers in some government departments are shown as the switchboard number; and whether they will make available to Members of Parliament a list of the telephone numbers of the private offices of all ministers.

The telephone numbers in the List of Ministerial Responsibilities all provide access to the Private Offices. Where main switchboard numbers are provided, these will be updated to Private Office numbers and will be reflected on GOV.UK.
