Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to his Oral Answer to the Hon. Member for Rhondda of 2 February 2023, Official Report column 453, what steps is he taking to move to more rapid declarations of ministerial interests so that they align more closely with the declarations of Members of Parliament; and will he make a statement.

My right honourable friend, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, responded to a question from the honourable member for Rhondda during Cabinet Office Oral Questions on 2 February 2023 regarding transparency in ministerial interests. A correction to this was identified and a formal request has been sent to the Hansard Editors. I would therefore refer the Rt Hon Lady to the Official Record in due course for the updated wording.
