The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department has issued any guidance to Ministers on attendance at public events featuring performers whose past public statements have raised concern among hon. Members.

Answered by Ms Abena Oppong-Asare

The Ministerial Code sets out the standards of behaviour expected of ministers. Ministers are personally responsible for deciding how to act and conduct themselves in the light of the Code and for justifying their actions and conduct to Parliament and the public.
