Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, when an Ethics Advisor to the Prime Minister will be appointed.
I refer the Rt. Hon Member to my earlier response (PQ79302).
The Prime Minister has confirmed that he intends to appoint an Independent Adviser and that further details will be announced in due course.
The process to appoint an Independent Adviser is already taking place. It is an important role which needs to be considered carefully; this is happening at pace.
