Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what response the Prime Minister has given to the Report of the Committee on Standards in Public Life submitted to her on 3 July 2018; and if he will make a statement.

The Committee on Standards in Public Life's report, entitled MPs' Outside Interests, made a number of recommendations to Parliament and the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. One recommendation was addressed to Government, which was that all candidates at Parliamentary elections must publish, at nomination, whether they intend to continue to hold any existing interests if elected. The Cabinet Office is considering this recommendation and will respond in due course.
