Cabinet Office: Corporate Hospitality
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make it his policy to ensure that transparency returns from his Department include an indicative value of any hospitality received.
Answered by Ms Abena Oppong-Asare
The Ministerial Code already requires ministers to declare the estimated value, where possible, of any hospitality received above de minimus levels.
As has been the case under successive administrations, special advisers and senior officials are not required to declare the value of hospitality received.
