Ministers: Dual Nationality

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 13 February 2025UIN 28584

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what guidance his Department has issued to Ministers on declaring dual nationality to (a) their department and (b) the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards.

Answered by Georgia Gould

There is an established process in place for the declaration and management of ministers’ private interests, which ensures that steps are taken to avoid or mitigate any actual or perceived conflicts of interest.

More information about the process by which ministers declare interests and the categories of interests declared is available in the List of Ministers’ Interests, which is published on Gov.uk
