Special advisers are bound by the provisions in the Code of Conduct for Special Advisers with regards to gifts and hospitality. Government departments publish details of hospitality received by special advisers in the course of their duties on a quarterly basis on GOV.UK.

Details of hospitality received in a ministerial capacity are published monthly by the Cabinet Office in the Register of Ministers’ Gifts and Hospitality on GOV.UK.
