Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, for what reason transparency data on (a) Ministerial gifts and hospitality and (b) senior officials and special advisers are published with different frequencies.

Following updates to the Ministerial Code in November 2024, the Government moved publication of Ministers' gifts and hospitality from quarterly to monthly. This brought declarations broadly in line with those required by Members in Parliament.

As with previous administrations, departments publish transparency data on senior officials and special advisers on a quarterly basis.
