List of Ministers' Interests: February 2025 (HTML)

Updated 6 March 2025

INTRODUCTION

1. It is a key principle of the Ministerial Code that ministers “must ensure that no conflict arises, or could reasonably be perceived to arise, between their public duties and their private interests.” This is an ongoing duty that applies throughout each minister’s period in office. Ministers take personal responsibility for deciding whether and what action is needed to avoid a conflict or the perception of a conflict. They are supported in such decisions by advice from their permanent secretaries and the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards.

2. The Ministerial Code stipulates that, on appointment to each new office, ministers must provide a full declaration of private interests which might be thought to give rise to a conflict with the minister’s public duties. Ministers are also asked to complete a new declaration whenever there is a substantial change to their portfolio and are expected to inform their department of any substantive change in their circumstances during the intervening period.

3. The declarations that ministers provide are treated in confidence. This allows for the fullest possible disclosure even where matters may not necessarily be relevant. The declaration is reviewed by the permanent secretary, who brings to bear an in-depth understanding of the minister’s portfolio and responsibilities and the associated activity of the department. The permanent secretary provides advice on any action that should be taken, including for example, a minister recusing themselves from decision-making on a particular issue. The declaration together with that advice is then shared with my secretariat.

4. One role of the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards is to provide independent advice on the arrangement of a minister’s personal affairs so as to ensure that no conflict arises, or appears to arise, between their public duties and their private interests. Ministers are asked to declare interests across a range of categories which are set out in greater detail below and receive advice tailored to their individual responses. The Ministerial Code describes the process by which ministers, on the advice of permanent secretaries and the Independent Adviser, determine the steps needed so that interests that are retained can be managed in a way which does not give rise to a conflict of interest.

5. The Ministerial Code requires that a statement covering relevant ministers’ interests is published; this takes the form of the List of Ministers’ Interests. A role of the Independent Adviser is to advise on what it is necessary to publish within the list. The list is not a register of interests and does not therefore include every interest that a minister has declared in relation to themselves and their family members. To do so would represent an excessive degree of intrusion into the private affairs of ministers that would be unreasonable, particularly in respect of their family members. The list instead documents those interests, including of close family, which are, or may be perceived to be, directly relevant to a minister’s ministerial responsibilities. The list also includes where ministers have roles in charities and non-public organisations, for example as a patron or trustee.

6. Ministers are invited to provide information about previous employment that may be perceived to have a bearing on their ministerial portfolio. I consider that requesting details concerning recent previous employment (remunerated or unremunerated) is an important contribution in the process for assessing the experience and connections of ministers which may have relevance to their roles, or be perceived to do so. This is particularly pertinent in the case of ministers whose appointment to the government occurs in close proximity to their election as an MP or their elevation to the House of Lords and where any recent activities in business or other areas will not, as a consequence, have been recorded in the parliamentary registers of interests. Whilst these roles must be disclosed by ministers to their permanent secretaries and myself, I exercise discretion in determining those that should be published in the list, taking account of the views of permanent secretaries and ministers concerning their relevance to particular portfolios and the time since a role ceased.

7. Ministers and their permanent secretaries are asked to consider together whether any recent donations (as published in the parliamentary registers of interests) may have a bearing on the minister’s portfolio and duties and to agree appropriate mitigations. Given their full disclosure in the parliamentary registers, I do not duplicate details of donations (including hospitality and gifts) received in a non-ministerial context in the List of Ministers’ Interests. Information on gifts and hospitality received by ministers as part of their work for government is made public on GOV.UK.

8. As part of the declaration of interests process, ministers are asked to attest formally that they accept the provisions of the Ministerial Code and their personal responsibility for deciding how to act and conduct themselves in light of the Code. Following the publication of the Ministerial Code by the Prime Minister on 6 November 2024, this process has now been undertaken by ministers.

9. The updated Ministerial Code also introduced a quarterly publication cycle for the list where previously it had been twice yearly. I am pleased to be issuing a second list for this government according to this new, more frequent rhythm. The list records the relevant interests of all ministers forming part of the government as at 9 February 2025. It should be read alongside the parliamentary registers of interests, in which all ministers maintain entries (House of Commons Register of Members’ Financial Interests and the House of Lords Register of Members’ Interests) and any relevant information published by the Electoral Commission.

10. I am content that any actual or perceived conflicts have been, or are in the process of being resolved, but it is important that ministers and their permanent secretaries remain alert in the context of their respective portfolios if ministers’ interests or their responsibilities change. The ongoing duty of ministers to comply with the Ministerial Code requires any such changes to be disclosed and considered whenever they arise.

GUIDE TO THE CATEGORIES OF INTEREST

Ministers are asked to declare their relevant interests to their permanent secretaries and the Independent Adviser in a number of categories. Permanent secretaries and the Independent Adviser advise on the management of any interests that may conflict, or appear to conflict, with specific ministerial portfolios. The Independent Adviser also considers which interests require publication in the List of Ministers’ Interests because they may be deemed relevant to a minister’s portfolio and responsibilities.

All government ministers will be members of either the House of Commons or House of Lords and therefore under a duty also to register and declare those interests that have been separately decided by each House to be relevant. The Independent Adviser does not generally duplicate this information in the List of Ministers’ Interests. The Independent Adviser may also request different categories of interest and apply different thresholds for certain types of interest. As a general principle, all list entries should be read alongside the parliamentary registers of interests (House of Commons Register of Members’ Financial Interests and the House of Lords Register of Members’ Interests) and any relevant information published by the Electoral Commission.

There are a number of departments with policy areas that have broad commercial relevance: the Prime Minister’s Office, HM Treasury, Department for Business and Trade, Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. In these cases, additional detail may be deemed to be relevant and is therefore included in the list.

1. Financial interests

The list includes financial interests held by a minister that are relevant, or may be perceived to be relevant, to their ministerial portfolio. It is not therefore a register of all financial interests.

The list indicates where financial interests are held in a blind trust or similar blind management arrangement. Such arrangements are longstanding mechanisms for protecting ministers in the handling of their interests. They ensure ministers are not involved in decisions on the management, acquisition or disposal of interests held under such arrangements and do not have live knowledge of the contents of such arrangements. The list also provides information on ministers’ involvement with trusts that are not blind, for example certain family trusts if these are considered relevant to their role. The list also includes information on pensions that are relevant to a minister’s portfolio or the broader work of their department.

2. Directorships and shareholdings

Directorships

While ministers would not normally retain directorships while in office, the Independent Adviser may advise, in some specific circumstances, that it is acceptable for a directorship to be retained, for example in connection with the management of a residential property or small family enterprise, subject to specific undertakings to avoid any conflict. Directorships of companies established to manage a single share-of-freehold residential building may be excluded from the list for security purposes. Recently appointed ministers sometimes need time to arrange their retirement from private company directorships and, in such cases, the relevant directorships are included in the list. All such positions are generally expected to be unpaid.

Shareholdings

Information on shareholdings should be read alongside the relevant parliamentary register. The registers maintained by the House of Commons and House of Lords include details of all shareholdings held by MPs and peers over certain thresholds. The List of Ministers’ Interests does not generally duplicate this information and is not a register of all interests. However, where shareholdings are held by particular ministers that are below the parliamentary thresholds for disclosure, but are deemed to be relevant to their respective portfolios, these are included within the list.

3. Investment property

The list includes investment properties where relevant to the minister’s ministerial portfolio. It is not therefore a list of all investment properties.

4. Public appointments

In line with the Ministerial Code, most public appointments are relinquished on appointment to ministerial office. Where exceptionally it is proposed that such an appointment should be retained, for example, to allow for a replacement to be recruited, ministers are expected to seek the advice of their permanent secretary and the Independent Adviser.

For the purposes of the list, public appointments are those which are regulated public appointments, as found on the Public Appointments Order in Council or any direct appointments made by a minister.

5. Charities and other non-public organisations

The list includes affiliations with charities and non-public organisations, such as where a minister is a patron, trustee, director or adviser. It also includes memberships or other associations if relevant to their ministerial portfolio or the broader work of their department.

6. Any other relevant interests

The list includes other interests which could have relevance to a minister’s specific ministerial responsibilities and broader work in government, for example a business based in their constituency, former employment or roles and membership of trade unions and other groups.

7. Interests of spouse, partner or close family member

Under the Ministerial Code, ministers are expected to disclose to their permanent secretary the interests of their spouse or partner and close family which might be thought to give rise to an actual or perceived conflict. Where a spouse or partner’s interests are deemed to be relevant to a minister’s portfolio, or could be perceived to be so, arrangements are put in place to manage this.

Care is taken in considering which interests held by ministers’ family members should be included in the list so as to avoid excessive and unreasonable intrusion into their lives. It is important to recognise the right of these individuals to a degree of privacy over their affairs and also to avoid compromising their ability to continue in gainful trade and/or employment. Accordingly, judgements are made about which interests are directly and significantly relevant and should therefore be included in the list. What counts as “close family” is determined on a case by case basis. Ministers cannot be expected to know the detail of the affairs of all those they are related to, but where they have close and ongoing contact ministers are expected to take reasonable steps to ensure they adhere to their responsibilities under the Ministerial Code.

8. Tax affairs, duty to comply with the law and conduct in light of the Ministerial Code

Ministers are asked to confirm that their tax affairs are up to date and that the arrangement of their affairs is consistent with their overarching duty to comply with the law. As set out above, ministers are also asked to attest that they accept the provisions of the Ministerial Code and their personal responsibility for deciding how to act and conduct themselves in light of the Code.
