The last such statement - the List of Ministers' Interests - was published at the end of May 2021.</p></li><li><p>The Independent Adviser’s advice to the Prime Minister where he has carried out an investigation into an alleged breach of the Ministerial Code will be published.</p></li><li><p>The Independent Adviser also published an Annual Report, setting out the work he has undertaken and his observations on matters within his responsibilities.</p></li></ul><p> </p><p>As with all Freedom of Information requests, due consideration should be given to the qualified and absolute exemptions under the Act which Parliament has legislated for.</p><p>There may be information held where it is not in the public interest for such information to be in the public domain. It is long-standing Government policy not to comment on individual personnel matters, including investigations into conduct, in order to protect the rights of all involved. As with all information, personal data and information provided in confidence will be considered against the relevant exemptions. This also avoids prejudice to the ability to carry out such investigations. The Ministerial Code states that the personal information which Ministers disclose to those who advise them on the management of their interests will be treated in confidence.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 10/09/2021 14:07:32 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
