Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, on what dates the five further complaints against the Deputy Prime Minister announced on 14 December 2022 were received.

I refer the Rt Hon lady to the Answers of 19 December 2022 to Questions 110722 and 110723. The investigation is being carried out in line with the Terms of Reference. Decisions on the conduct of that investigation will be for the investigator.

The government confirmed on 14 December that additional formal complaints had been passed to the investigator. These had been received by the Cabinet Office late in the previous week and were addressed promptly.
