Written Question
Monday 21st February 2022
Asked by:
Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (Green Party - Life peer)
Question
to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports of a drinking culture in No 10 Downing Street; and what records they have, if any, of ministers or staff being intoxicated on the premises since March 2020.
Answered by Lord True
- Shadow Leader of the House of Lords
I would refer the noble Lady to PQ114640, answered by the Prime Minister on 31 January:
The Civil Service Code governs the overarching conduct of civil servants. This includes the requirement to “always act in a way that is professional”.
The Government has accepted the Second Permanent Secretary’s general findings in full. As the published update states, steps must be taken “to ensure that every Government Department has a clear and robust policy in place covering the consumption of alcohol in the workplace.”
