Prime Minister: Information Officers
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will publish the interests of the new Executive Director of Communications in 10 Downing Street.
Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds
There is a rigorous process to ensure any potential conflicts of interest are captured, and have appropriate mitigations in place to reflect specific circumstances. Ahead of his appointment, the new Executive Director of Communications in 10 Downing Street fully complied with this process.
This is set out in the Special Adviser Code of Conduct and lists of Special Adviser interests are published annually.
