Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to review the ministerial code regarding declarations of interest to improve public confidence in elected officials.

The Prime Minister published a new Ministerial Code on 6 November 2024 which sets out the standards expected of all government ministers. Part B, Chapter 3 of the Ministerial Code details the 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.
