Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the provision of accommodation at a below market rate to a Minister is a declarable interest to the (a) Cabinet Office Propriety and Ethics Team and (b) Independent Adviser on Ministerial Interests under the Ministerial Code.

There is an established process in place for the declaration and management of ministers’ private interests. This ensures that steps are taken to avoid or mitigate any potential or perceived conflicts of interest.
