Notably:</p><ul><li><p>Section 8.3: Ministers should ensure that their statements are consistent with collective Government policy;</p></li><li><p>Section 6.5: Ministers are free to make their views about constituency matters known to the responsible Minister by correspondence, leading deputations or by personal interview provided they make clear that they are acting as their constituents’ representative and not as a Minister.</p></li></ul><p>The Ministerial Code can be viewed here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ministerial-code" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ministerial-code</a></p> more like this

answer text <p>It is a long-standing convention that outgoing Prime Ministers can draw up a ‘Dissolution’ or ‘Resignation’ List. This has been the case under past governments from across the political spectrum. This convention has been the case throughout the 20th Century, originating in the 19th Century.</p> more like this

answer text <p>This question was debated in the House of Lords, during the Report stage of the Procurement Bill on Wednesday 30 November 2022.</p><p>The Bill’s current clauses provide strong safeguards to preserve the integrity of a procurement. Clause 76 sets out the people in respect of whom conflicts of interest should be identified. This covers anyone acting for or on behalf of the contracting authority in relation to a procurement, including those who influence a decision made by, or on behalf of, a contracting authority related to the procurement. Clause 77(3) states that if a conflict of interest puts a supplier at an unfair advantage, and if steps to mitigate cannot avoid that advantage, the supplier must be excluded.</p><p>This, combined with the Bill’s requirements on transparency and equal treatment, will mean that contracting authorities will not be allowed to give preferential treatment to suppliers recommended by Members of Parliament.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> more like this

answer text <p>It is a long-standing convention that individuals can be nominated for an honour in recognition of their public and political service, and that Prime Ministers can draw up a ‘Dissolution’ or ‘Resignation’ List (after a general election or when resigning from office). This has been the case under past governments from across the political spectrum.</p><p>It would not be appropriate to speculate on any possible Resignation Honours Lists which is a matter for both former Prime Ministers and the current Prime Minister.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The UN Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (the Framework) was agreed and adopted in March 2015. Many of the principles underpinning the Framework are integral to ongoing UK work on resilience as part of integrated emergency management and the UK has a range of robust mechanisms in place for planning, responding and recovering from emergencies. The UK continues to play a leading role in the international risk reduction agenda through FCDO and the UK is committed to helping the most vulnerable anticipate and prepare for shocks and access support in disasters.<strong> </strong></p> more like this
