Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Chapman of Darlington on 8 April (HL15854), why has there been a delay in publishing the conflict-of-interest declaration form by Lord Mandelson, including the agreed mitigations relating to Global Counsel.

I refer the Hon Member to the Government's statement (Official Report, vol. 782, cols. 359-374) and release of information on 11 March, providing an update on the response to the Humble Address. The Government is working to ensure that Parliament's instruction is met with the urgency and transparency that it deserves.
