The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Answer of 31 March 2026 to Question 113783 on Cabinet Office: Reviews, whether the Propriety and Ethics team provided a substantive report on allegations made about the conduct of the former Parliamentary Secretary in the Cabinet Office.
Answered by Chris Ward
On 15 February 2026, the Prime Minister asked civil servants in the Cabinet Office to establish the facts in this case. Following the conclusion of that process, the Prime Minister referred the matter to the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards. The Independent Adviser then provided advice to the Prime Minister on 27 February, which has been published.
