Answered by Ms Abena Oppong-Asare

This Government will introduce a register for ministers’ gifts and hospitality bringing publication of ministerial transparency data on a broadly equivalent basis to the parliamentary register.

This Government is fully committed to transparency and openness, and is committed to looking at how the range of information published can be improved and made as useful as possible.
