Ministers: Corporate Hospitality and Official Gifts
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to his Department's guidance entitled Ministers' Gifts and Hospitality: Publication Guidance, published on 30 January 2025, if he will add large social media companies including (a) X, (b) Meta and (c) Tik Tok to Annex C.
Answered by Ms Abena Oppong-Asare
The Cabinet Office publishes a monthly register of all gifts and hospitality received by ministers in a ministerial capacity. This includes gifts and hospitality received by social media companies.
The Government keeps the guidance on Ministers' Gifts and Hospitality under review. There are no current plans to include representatives of social media companies under the guidance for senior media figures.
