Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Chapman of Darlington on 12 November 2024 (HL1945), whether Cabinet Office or Downing Street special advisers participated in campaigning in the recent US elections using annual leave.

I refer the Noble Baroness to the written answer to Baroness Chapman of Darlington which highlighted that special advisers are required to follow the Code of Conduct for Special Advisers. We do not retain records on Special Adviser's use of Annual Leave.
