(Minister for the Constitution):
The Government is today publishing a number of documents as part of
its ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability:
- The List of Ministers’ Interests, reflecting the Government
as it stood on 5 November 2019, immediately before the
dissolution of Parliament. Under the terms of the Ministerial
Code, Ministers must ensure that no conflict arises, or could
reasonably be perceived to arise, between their Ministerial
position and their private interests, financial or otherwise. The
List captures those interests relevant to Ministers’ Ministerial
responsibilities, and should be read alongside the two
Parliamentary Registers. In line with the commitment in the
Ministerial Code, a further list reflecting ministerial
appointments made since the General Election will be published
next year.
- The Annual Report of the Prime Minister’s Independent Adviser
on Interests, Sir , which accompanies the
List of Ministers’ Interests.
- The Annual Report on Special Advisers 2019, in conformance
with Section 16(1) of the Constitutional Reform and Governance
Act 2010.
Copies of the List of Ministerial Interests, the Annual Report of
the Prime Minister’s Independent Adviser on Interests and the
Annual Report on Special Advisers will be placed in the Libraries
of both Houses and will be published on GOV.UK.
Further transparency publications will be published in the New
Year, in the usual way.
