Ministers: Members' Interests

Asked by John GlenConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 31 October 2024UIN 10704

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference Answer of 26 September 2024 to Question HL978 on Ministers: Members' Interests, whether declarations made by Ministers to the House of Commons or House of Lords register of Members’ interests constitute a Ministerial declaration under the Ministerial Code.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The ministers’ interests process, which is set out in the Ministerial Code, is distinct from the parliamentary regimes that exist for Members of the House of Commons and House of Lords to register interests as parliamentarians. All ministers must comply with both the Ministerial Code and the Codes of Conduct of their respective House.
