Question to the Attorney General:
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hermer on 1 June (HL104), whether there are details of financial interests which the Attorney General has declared to his Permanent Secretary or the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards but which have not been published in the List of Ministers' Interests.
As has previously been set out to the house both in January 2025 and in June 2025, there is an established rigorous system in place within the Attorney General’s Office to ensure that a Law Officer would not be consulted on any matter that could give rise to a potential conflict of interest.
This process also sits alongside the established system in place for declaration Ministerial Interests. I confirm that my relevant interests have been published for the public record, including my previous employment at Matrix Chambers.
