	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2024 answer text <p>In July 2023, the Cabinet Office published its response to three reports on strengthening ethics and integrity in central government. This states: “The Government will be implementing comprehensive reforms to improve the quality and accessibility of departments' transparency returns, which cover meetings, gifts, hospitality and travel.”</p><p>“The Cabinet Office is developing a single platform to collate and publish departments' transparency returns. This will provide a single public source of transparency data, replacing the system of separate publications. Following the deployment and adoption of an integrated database, the Government will look to move departments' transparency publications from a quarterly to a monthly basis.” The full response is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/strengthening-ethics-and-integrity-in-central-government" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/strengthening-ethics-and-integrity-in-central-government</a></p><p>My office is already collating monthly returns and we are working with the Cabinet Office in order to publish these ahead of the new system being rolled out across Government.</p><p>Separately, and in line with the Ministerial Code, the List of Ministers’ Interests is published twice yearly with updates issued at other times as needed.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 15/01/2024 16:05:41 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2024 answer text <p>The Standing Orders provide for thirteen sitting Fridays per session. The House can agree, on a Government motion, to sit on additional Fridays when required. This is usually appropriate when the length of a session has been extended.</p><p>With the support of the Government, 24 Private Members’ Bills were passed in the last session, with only one additional Friday allocated. This is more than the 2021-22 session, which saw 13 Private Members’ Bills reach Royal Assent in thirteen sitting Fridays. This clearly demonstrates that sufficient support from across the House is more important in the successful passage of Private Members’ Bills than additional parliamentary time.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 11/01/2024 15:24:00 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
