Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps UK Government Investments has taken to ensure that there is no conflict of interest in UKGI director Mr Tom Cooper’s ownership and management of a private consulting firm TKGC Consulting.
As with all external interests of its staff, UKGI discussed the disclosure of Tom Cooper’s ownership and management of private consulting firm TKGC Consulting following its incorporation.
In considering the external interests of its staff, UKGI ensures it has asked for appropriate detail in determining whether a conflict of interest exists and so that it can satisfy itself that the external position or interest held by a staff or board member is appropriate and in line with its existing priorities.
