The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what guidance his Department issues on the circumstances in which hospitality received by Ministers at party conferences should be declared.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The Ministerial Code sets out rules on the acceptance of gifts and hospitality in a ministerial capacity.

Any hospitality, above the relevant thresholds, received by a minister in their capacity as MP or Peer should be declared on the parliamentary register, in line with the rules set by Parliament.
