answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2019 answer text <p>The principle of collective agreement requires that ministers are able to express their views freely and frankly in private, and therefore any leaks from Cabinet or Cabinet Committees are taken very seriously, as are leaks of any Government information or material. If any breach is found it is dealt with under the Ministerial Code, Special Adviser Code, or Civil Service Code. It has been the policy of successive Governments not to comment on leaks other than in exceptional circumstances when it is in the public interest to do so.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 25/03/2019 15:15:46 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
